I have a website where I'd like every authenticated user to be able to create a galleria.
I've read the documentation on node access but can't quite get it to fit into galleria.
Since the module doesn't create a new module per se, I'm not sure how to implement the access.

I would be willing to help with the patches if anyone can point me in the correct direction

I had this problem before, I've come up with two solutions. I'll post here hoping it'll help someone out.

If you're really bent on having gallerias, you need to create a new content type, and allow all your authenticated users to create new such nodes. Since they don't get add node links, you need to add those manually to your theme ( Create New Gallery --> node/add/mygalleries ). However, I've found this poses too many problems with administration, and is not a very flexible solution, even if you add Views Gallerias into the mix.

I'd personally recommend the Node Gallery ( http://drupal.org/project/node_gallery ) module, since it's been built with user created galleries in mind from step 1. It's not as fancy, but it works as you want out of the box, and uses nodes for both galleries and pictures ( found it to be easier for working with views ).
