@farcows – The gallery “author” is the one that uploaded the images, there is no method to change the author of the gallery.
If you are referring to the Gallery Settings panel; is it open, or is it appearing as just a bar?
You should be able to use custom CSS and save it under Gallery > Other Options > Style … this is an update safe area to keep your CSS changes.

Well, I created the gallery as an admin, that’s true.
But I want the user to be able to change his gallery, so I want to connect the gallery to this user by changing the name of the author. This is how I did it for the other users.
When the user logs in as a participant with his personal password, he only sees his own gallery -no rights for the others- and can change whatever he wants.
But I can’t change it anymore.
No connection / editable options for the user possible?
More settings: There are more screens with this option…
It’s the screen of the gallery itself where it’s said Titel / path / link to page / new page / author / etc/
This is all available, put on top I read Gallery settings (click here for more settings) and that link isn’t working.
CSS: Thanks, I will try that!
@farcows – That “toggle” text will be corrected in the next release but it will only close the panel you currently see.
Unfortunately, at this time, there is no option to “assign” an author to a gallery but please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas on this as a Feature Request here: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/
Thanks!

Thanks.
I will share my thoughts. I don’t believe this is an idea, because it was working fine the last year(s) and now it’s gone. I see it as a bug. But keep on doing a great job with NextGen. Watching forward to the next update.
@farcows – The option to change the gallery author has never been a core functionality of NextGEN Gallery … perhaps you were/are using a third-party plugin that allowed for this?
– Cais.
But in what way I can deal with multiple users and change permissions like it’s stated here:
http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/wordpress-gallery-plugin/#rolemanagement
I always used NextGen for this, no third-party. NextGen was an all-in-one solution for the things I wanted two+ years ago.
PS: I’ve got 20 users with the possibility to let each user create their own gallery.
Role and Permission Management for Multiple Users
NextGEN offers fine controls for determining what permissions various users (authors, editors, etc) in your WordPress site have. You can, for example, allow authors to upload and manage their own galleries, while preventing them from touching other users’ galleries or adjusting any global settings.
And a screenshot of the users I created in the beginning. I in the role as webmaster created them, but changed the author, so the user got the permission the change “their gallery”

@farcows – As noted, the user (read: author) must upload their own gallery and as such they would manage it. The Roles and Capabilities permissions would allow you (the Administrator) to manage their access based on their Role (by default the WordPress roles in use on your site).
Again, if this was a case (which we have no record of) that this option existed in a previous version please submit a Feature Request so we can gauge the possibility of adding it (again?).
Thanks!
– Cais.
I submitted the request.
And I’ll rewrite the manual for the new users and add the text to create their own gallery. The roles are okay.
Thanks for the fast answers, this will do the trick 🙂
