 * Hi, which are recommended user permissions? Many of the roles can’t upload photos.
 * Thanks.
 * Magda.

 * Hello Magda,
    Sorry for the late response. The plugin checks for the user capability
   upload_files. By default, the minimum user role needed to do this is Author. 
   If you with to add this capability to a lesser role you can follow the documentation
   here to increase the capabilities of that role. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap)
 * Thanks for trying the plugin.
