- Judy uploads files to a library. She creates an album, which she shares with Jamie, making Jamie an admin of the album. Jamie makes changes, and then is ready to let the publisher know that they are ready. Jamie then gives the publisher download rights to the album (which she can do because she is an admin over the album, and therefore all the items in it).
- OR, if Judy only gave Jamie WRITE access on the album, when Jamie goes to share it with the publisher, she will receive a message saying She can share it with the publisher. When Jamie tries to share with the publisher she is warned that she cannot share the items in the album. Judy must give Jamie admin rights over the album (or over the content in her library, or over the album itself (is this true?) so Jamie can share it.
- This seems acceptable: everyone on the team needs to be an admin of the content. Once we have groups, this will be very easy to make work.

- Professor A gathers content from Rotch, and from Vue, and creates a slideshow. She then shares it with her students. Students WILL be able to see all the content, because Rotch and Vue content is public, even though she does not have admin rights over that content. QUESTION: how should we handle the messaging? don't want to alarm people unnecessarily.
- Professor B has a library, and shares it with gives Professor A read access. Professor A takes some content from Prof B's library, and adds it to her slideshow. She is notified that this content will NOT be visible to her students, and she must ask Professor B to make the content public if it is to be shareable. Professor B can either make Professor A an admin of his library, which he probably will not want to do, OR he can create an album of the items that Professor A wants, and give Professor A admin rights over the album. In this way, albums can be used to manage access on subsets of items.
PSB:
- User called "PSB-Seller" (or something like that) is admin over all content. All content is readable by public.
Wiki Markup Public User creates an album, and drags images to it. They pay PSB and reference the album name (might need some kind of generic naming/number in albums). PSB should already be able to see all the albums. Maybe this means they go in as super-admin, maybe its some sort of PSB-specific customization. They then set 'download' on the album for that user, and the user can download the items. When PSB wants to restrict access, they remove download for that user. \[Problem: if user created the album, download icon will be available. However, they wont alreadyactually haveget download\!the ititems justwhen doesn'tthe yetgo work,to becausedownload can't apply download to those itemsthem \-\- they'll get an error. This case works as it should, but might be a bit confusing.\]

- There was a big party, and 7 people each upload pictures to their personal libraries. All of their libraries are private. One of them creates an album, and shares the album with gives all 7 people . Each of these people will need to share their library with all 7 other people, OR they will need to give the others admin rights over any pictures they drag into their albumadmin rights on that album. Then everyone can drag images to the album, and choose to share all the pictures with others.
- Alternatively, the creator of the album could just give others WRITE on the album. When they drag their content there, they are giving the owner of the album admin rights over their items. Only the owner of the album can share it with others. The owner of the album can successfully share the album with anyone he wants to, even though he does not own the content. This is because he is the admin of all content in the album -- the others gave him admin rights by dragging their items there.
