I am having trouble with coppermine when bridged with IPB 2.1.6

I wish to allow users to upload files into the albums, but with approval. In the 'Groups' manager page, I have set the member permissions under 'Public albums upload' to:
Allowed: Yes
Approval: Yes

When a user goes to upload a file, they get the error message: Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload files

I go back to the admin panel, under the 'Groups' page click on Assign Album(s) under the member row, and I am redirected to the forums admin page.

Where do I assign albums to members in the gallery admin panel?

Coppermine install: http://harrys-hideout.net/gallery/index.php
Forum install: http://harrys-hideout.net/forums/index.php
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.5
Forum version: Invision Power Board 2.1.6
Test user account: [user]: Demo [pass]: tester#

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://harrys-hideout.net/forums
Relative path to your BBS's config file:   ../forums/
Use post-based groups?:  1

read the docs... especially

Thanks for that it was simple really.

The problem was I had not ticked the 'Allow Visitor Uploads' in the album settings. In the past, I presumed that this was for guest uploads.

Thanks for posting your solution

hmm, this solution does not solve my case sufficiently... this works only for one member group.

In my case (CPG 1.4.6 / IPB 1.3) I have two different member groups. this comes from the forum, where group one can see forum 1,2 and group two sees 1,2,3,4,5. I have it similar now with showing albums in the CPG gallery to the the member groups.

With the above mentioned solution I can assign upload permission for an album only to both or none of the two member groups. 

Is there a possibility to fix that (plugin) ??
Is it possible for a member group to create albums outside of the "user gallery" section? E.g. under the category "recent events" I created?

thanks for giving feedback.
