This guide explains how to share a gallery with different types of users. ### **Sharing a Gallery with Main Clients** The recommended way to share a gallery with clients is by assigning them as **Main Clients**. This grants them special privileges, including: - [Hiding photos](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/how-can-the-main-client-hide-photos-in-the-gallery-1?hsLang=en) in the gallery. - [Receiving Selection Requests](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/how-do-i-request-a-client-selection?hsLang=en) for prints or album design. - Viewing and commenting on album proofs. - Exclusive [download permissions](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/how-do-i-manage-download-permissions-in-pass?hsLang=en). - Access to[filtered scenes](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/how-can-the-main-client-hide-photos-in-the-gallery-1?hsLang=en) (for private galleries only). - Viewing images without [watermarks](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/setting-up-a-watermark?hsLang=en). - Approving guest gallery access. Additionally, you can create promotional campaigns and automations, like anniversary gifts or simple sales systems, tailored specifically for Main Clients. #### **Steps to Share a Gallery with a Main Client:** 1. **Access the Share Tab:** Navigate to the **Share** tab in the gallery menu. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-04-00-8547-PM.png?width=688&height=398&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-04-00-8547-PM.png) 2. **Enter Client Details:** Add the client’s name and email, then choose either: - **Send to Client**: Sends an email directly via Pass, keeping all communication centralized. - **Send by Myself**: Generates a secure link to share outside of Pass. You can assign up to five individuals as Main Clients. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-10-10-1797-PM.png?width=688&height=347&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-10-10-1797-PM.png) 3. **Confirm Main Client Access:** Clients must access the gallery through the secure link. This ensures they are recognized as Main Clients in the system. ### **Sharing a Gallery with Photographer Invited Users** **Photographer Invited Users** are individuals who need specific permissions to view the gallery, such as colleagues, extended family, or potential clients. These users: - Cannot hide photos in the gallery. - Cannot see photos hidden by the Main Client. - Can be included or excluded from promotional campaigns. - Only view scenes they’re authorized to access (for private galleries). - May receive free high-res or web-sized downloads. #### **Steps to Share a Gallery with Photographer Invited Users:** 1. **Invite via Email or Secure Link:** Use **Invite via Email** for bulk invitations or **Get a Secure Link** to share individually. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-12-18-3813-PM.png?width=688&height=375&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-12-18-3813-PM.png) 2. **Select Scene Access:** Choose which scenes the user can view under **Show Scenes** before sending the invitation. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-30-29-0431-PM.png?width=688&height=321&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-07-30-29-0431-PM.png) **Pro Tip:** Using **Invite via Email**, you can send invitations to multiple users in one click. 3. **Optional Access Code:** You can set an access code to enhance security.  ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-00-45-2701-PM.png?width=688&height=555&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-00-45-2701-PM.png) ### **Sharing a Gallery with Guests** The **Guest Link** is ideal for sharing the gallery with family, friends, or prospective clients. Guests: - Cannot hide photos in the gallery. - Cannot see photos hidden by the Main Client. - Can be included or excluded from promotions. - Only view scenes they’re allowed to access. - May receive free downloads, similar to Main Clients or Photographer Invited Users. #### **Steps to Share a Gallery with Guests:** 1. **Generate a Secure Link:** Click **Get Secure Link** in the gallery. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-07-30-0416-PM.png?width=688&height=478&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-07-30-0416-PM.png) 2. **Set Access Preferences:** For private galleries, choose which scenes the link grants access to. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-12-14-7576-PM.png?width=688&height=534&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-12-14-7576-PM.png) 3. **Copy and Share the Link:** Share the generated link outside of Pass as needed. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-15-00-9560-PM.png?width=688&height=404&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-15-00-9560-PM.png) ### **Gallery Viewing and Sharing Settings** #### **Private vs. Public Galleries** By default, galleries are set as public.

To add security: - Go to **Settings \> Gallery Defaults \> System Preferences** and enable account requirements for downloads or sharing. ![](https://servicehub.passgallery.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-36-30-8640-PM.png?width=688&height=337&name=image-png-Jan-28-2025-08-36-30-8640-PM.png) Alternatively, you can still collect visitor names and email addresses.
