 * When you add a location as user, the image is uploaded as expected to /wp-content/
   uploads/oum-useruploads/. When uploading an image from the admin interface, it
   uses the media library and stores the image in /wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ instead
   of oum-useruploads where I’d expect it.

 * Hi [@abyz12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abyz12345/) ,
 * Yes, that is the intended behaviour. When uploading images from the backend the
   media library should be involved. Authors should have access to their uploaded
   pictures. On the other hand unauthorized users should not be able to upload images
   to the media library file structure. That is why there are two separate storage
   points.
 * Best regards,
   Daniel
