We have moderated posts. But there doesn't seem to be a way for a moderator (or even a back-end administrator) to access images or galleries in My Media for an arbitrary user. The moderator can edit the post but not the image parameters. Same for the admin in the back-end. We don't want to make the Shared Media folder available generally. Is there another way to do this? Thanks.
Hello John,

Sorry for late reply,
Me again If I'm not getting wrong your meaning, you can disable this option from your backend > Easyblog > ACL > http://screencast.com/t/CEi2WbYt
If no, can you elaborate your question with more details, and include a screen shot of what you are referring to? Please advise.

Right, I knew that. Let me explain in more detail.

1. If we allow access to Shared Media to all registered users, I think that means that any registered user would be able to edit all images in Shared Media. If that is correct, then we don't want to do that.
2. If that is correct, is there any way to limit access to Shared Media so that any registered user can upload to it but can only edit what they uploaded (and admins can edit anything)?
3. If we don't use Shared Media, is there any easy way in the back-end that an administrator can edit some other user's My Media?

Hello John,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I think i got your meaning now, do you mean that when the different user upload the image in "Shared Media" folder from Media Manager, then everyone also can edit what other user upload their own image file from "Shared Media" folder right?

If yes, unfortunately we do not have the option to control the user permission with this now

Hmm, actually all the user also have their own "My media", even the administrator also can't edit the user "My media" from backend.

Yes, that's exactly the problem. It wouldn't take an elaborate access control to solve it for us, just admin access in the back-end to any user's
My Media.

Hello John Bongiovanni,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Unfortunately that was not possible, unless you can view the user "My media" from your JoomlaFolder/images/easyblog_images.
