PhotoShelter Multi-User (MU)

PhotoShelter Multi-User (MU) allows multiple users to access a single archive. Each image in the organization's account belongs to the organization, but can be attributed to "photographers" connected to the organization.

MU is perfect for organizations of any size that need to manage the archive, distribution and sales of their image assets. Pricing starts at $250/month or $2,750/year per editor's seat and includes:

  • 10GB Storage
  • 20GB Bandwidth
  • Seamless Customization
  • (3) Client Seats
Please contact us for sales and more information.


There are three main user types within the MU structure:
  • Editors (paid seats)
  • Contributors (photographers, scanning vendors, etc)
  • Clients

Editors
Editors have access to the archival folders and galleries within an organization. At least one editor in each organization must be designated as an "Administrator," which gives them access to create and assign Permission Sets, and add and remove users.

All Editors can upload images. They can optionally be named as a "Photographer" within the organization.

Each editor seat is a paid seat.

Contributors
Contributors do not have access to the organization's archive. In most cases, contributors have upload access (for example, a working photographer, or a scanning vendor). They may or may not be named as a "Photographer" within the organization. Photographers that are dead or unlikely to use PhotoShelter can be listed as "Photographers."

Identifying a user as a "Photographer" within your organization allows you to attribute images to those users. In turn, you can search images by a specific photographer.

Clients
A "client" is someone who needs access to images within your archive. Unlike public users, you can give your clients high-resolution download access to images without creating an explicit gallery invitation.

Each MU account comes with (3) free client seats. Additional seats are $10/seat/month.

What is a Permission Set?
Each editor must be assigned a Permission Set. The Permission Set controls what an editor can do within the organization's archive. For example, the administrator could create a set called "Junior Editor" that allows the user to create galleries, but not dispatch invites.

Permission Sets give the admin granular control over aspects of the archive.
