Select the lowest role that should be able to access the following capabilities within NextGEN Gallery.

NextGEN Gallery supports the standard roles of WordPress: subscriber, contributor, author, editor, and administrator.

For example, if you set Add Gallery/Upload Images to be editor, only an editor and administrator can add images to a gallery and create a gallery. Or if you set it to subscriber, a subscriber, contributor, author, editor, and administrator can add images and create a gallery.

You as a super-admin will always have full control of the NextGEN Gallery settings and options. These role settings do not apply to you. Roles and Capabilities are accessed under NextGEN Gallery > Other Options > Roles/Capabilities.
