To set up account and assign a folder and permissions in Seefile is the next step in this process.   I logged in as the administrator.  And then to the admin panel. I started to configure users. I only takes three steps to  add a new user. First you will setup  the  name of the company or person with a password. The next step is to  assign them a folder and lastly is to set up  there permissions. Wat they can do with the files. Most of the time I set up that they can view, post messages. and rotate the image.  I usually set up a separate download folder and set the permissions for downloading images there.

After yoou have added the new client make sure you save.  I always  then log on as the client to test the set up.

Its that time from Thanksgiving to New Years that work seems to slow down in favour of holiday parties and shopping. It give me more time to plan for next year and to play. I got together with  Lisa McGann, A wonderful  food stylist, for a day to shoot some holiday / winter images.  We did 6 shots in all.  A  Rice/onion, dish, a hand made Ginger bread house, Christmas cookies, some bread, Candy canes, and finally a pudding. This was one of the first times I  just used the natural light coming in from the windows to light the shot. I added some silver reflectors to bounce the light a bit and help shape the image.

As with any time I work with Lisa it went smoothly and the images look great.

I’ll have  these added to my portfolio site soon.

Once all the computers were ready, now comes the time for file transfers. I need to transfer all the accounts and there files to the new sever.

I had about 150 gigs in all. I would guess 4-5 thousand image files. I took the slower route. I transferred all the files over the network. I could have set up a FireWire transfer. It would have been  a little faster. But I had the time.

I did take a couple of hours. I would transfer a client and then would check the files and change the organization if I thought it would be better. Then I would set there account information and test to make sure all would work.  There about 20 to 30 differnt clients who have access.  I stated with the ones that would need access now. The rest I’ll do as the need.  In a future post (soon) I’ll go thur thru the set up procedure.
