Thanks Michael,
it is exactly as you described.
I'm wondering what would be the best strategy for permission management 
since in my case I have several OUs/sites each one with at least an 
image gallery.
So there's some work to do for every image gallery (i.e.dening access to 
the rest of the users belonging to other OUs)

Ciao,
    Andrea
