Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I can't access many of my private folders in my Piwigo photo gallery website regardless of the fact that I'm logged in with my administrator username and password. From the admin page (the dashboard), when I click on Album/Manage/Edit/ "Save settings" and then click on "Jump to album", I'm sent to a page that says "You are not authorised to access the requested page". From the Piwigo photo gallery I do see a few of my private folders but most of them don't show up. I have tried logging out and logging back in but is not making any difference. I hope someone can help me figure out what's wrong.
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this issue.
Piwigo version: 2.9.5
PHP version: 7.2.13
MySQL version: 5.5.5-10.2.17-MariaDB [2019-04-10 03:03:45]

Check the permissions tab.

The permissions are set as private. Here's a screen shot. Is there anything I should change there?

no wonder. You didn't grant anybody permission to view it.
You need to grant access in the permissions tab of either the album or the user. This is all explained in the "Piwigo Tour" plugin. I recommend going through it.

Oh! I was thinking as an administrator I was automatically going to be allowed to see all the albums. Thanks for clarifying that for me, executive. I added myself and now I can see the album. I really appreciate your help. Thank you so much!

I think it normally does happen automatically. I'm not sure what happened in your case.

It must be a glitch, but at least there was a way around it and now I can see all my albums thanks to you :)

no by default, nobody really means nobody

So, even administrators need to be added in the permissions tab to be able to see the albums. It wasn't a glitch after all, is the way the system was made. I understand it now and thank you for clarifying that for me, flop25. It's really appreciated.
