Description
Editor role in Shared Spaces cannot tag/edit faces (People section) — only the Space owner can
Environment
- Noodle Gallery, image tag
v5 (ghcr.io/open-noodle/gallery-server / gallery-ml)
- Self-hosted via Docker Compose
- Reproduced on web UI (desktop, Chrome)
Setup
- A Shared Space was created by account A (the account that created the Space — shows as "Owner"/"Eigenaar" in Space members).
- Account B is a member of the same Space with role Editor ("Bewerker"), confirmed via Space → Leden (Members).
Steps to reproduce
- Log in as the Space owner (account A). Open any photo in the Space and open the Info panel.
- Observe the "People" section shows both a + (add face) icon and a pencil (edit faces) icon.
- Log in as an Editor member (account B) of the same Space. Open the same photo and Info panel.
- Observe the "People" section shows the already-recognized faces, but no + or pencil icon — there is no way to add a new face or edit/reassign an existing face tag.
Expected behavior
Since account B has the Editor role in the Space (which per the docs/feature list grants read-write access), it should be able to tag and edit faces on photos within that Space, same as the owner.
Actual behavior
Only the Space owner sees the add (+) and edit (pencil) controls for the "People" section. Editor members can view existing face tags but have no way to add or modify them.
Additional notes
- This appears to be a permissions/UI gap specific to Shared Spaces rather than a general Immich limitation — the owner's own personal library behaves as expected.
- Happy to provide screenshots / further repro details if useful.
