Description
The Protection addon blocks right-clicking in Envira Gallery galleries, applies a customizable watermark (text or image) over your photos, and requires a password or private link before granting access to confidential albums. The addon also controls which user roles can create, edit, or delete galleries, attaches licensing information to images, and offers an approval workflow so clients can pick favorites and send feedback on published work.
