 * Hi
 * I have a number of usera in Author level. The authorization works fine, with 
   one issue. If one user sets a number of photos in “Pending” status the photos
   shows up in “Moderate Photos”. Here another user can see the photos and change
   everything. This must be wrong. I belive the purpose of authorization is to prevent
   one user from changing another users photos.
 * Regards Hans

 * If you give them moderate rights in Table VII-A they have systemwide moderate
   rights. This capability is meant for ‘the moderator(s)’.
 * You better just give them edit photo access at the frontend in Table VII-D2.1
   
   Also please look at VII-C6, this setting allows you to restrict the status to
   just pending or publish.
