Users

Lychee supports multiple users with granular access control per album.

• Username/Password — traditional login
• WebAuthn — passwordless authentication using security keys or biometrics
• OAuth — sign in with external providers

• Registration page — allow new users to register
• Invite links — generate links to invite specific users
• Trust levels — assign different trust levels per user to control capabilities
• Cross-user sharing — share albums between users on the same instance

Access rights are managed per album. You can:

• Make albums public or private
• Grant read or write access to specific users
• Control download permissions
• Set password protection on albums

With the Supporter Edition, you get additional user management capabilities:

• Space usage tracking — see how much storage each user consumes
• Upload quotas — set per-user upload limits
• Admin notes — add internal notes to user accounts
• Multi-admin support — delegate admin responsibilities
• User groups — organize users into groups with shared permissions. See User Groups.
