I am trying to do the following: I have producers and retailers on my site. Not every retailer should see every file on a page or profile. E.g. if there is a Siemens retailer he only should see files for Siemens retailers. And Siemens should only be able to upload files for Siemens retailers. First I thought there could be a way doing it with the types of connections (e.g. connetion-type: Siemens-Retailer). But if, e.g., Miele is loading up a file they also could select the connection type "Siemens-Retailer".
I created a field now "My Producers". Is there a way with the Gallery plugin to enable it that e.g. Siemens files will automatically will be visible in Siemens-Gallery just for Siemens-Retailers?
I would create a select field to specify what type of profile they are or a usergroup that gets assigned to them. Next I would create 2 Gallery fields in CB > Field Management. Now use CB Conditional to condition each gallery so they're only accessible to a specific profile type. This should give you 2 distinctive galleries that you can restrict with profile type or any other conditions you want using CB Conditional.

Hi Kyle, ok, thank you. That's what I intended to try next. The only thing is that this is a lot of work, because we have round about 100 producers . But ok, if this is the way.... Best regards Uwe
btw....is there eventually an easier way with CB Paid Subscritpions? I guess this addon is something like a shop system, and maybe ....?
The Asset for galleries supports substitutions so you could get away with a single gallery field, but use substitutions to determine the asset used. Example as follows.
profile.[uset_id].[cb_profile_type]
cb_profile_type would be the select field for selecting profile type. So for example you might have the following options in the select field.
This would result in the following assets for the gallery field allowing for gallery isolation per-user per-type.
profile.30.consumer
profile.60.retailer
Hopefully am understanding your needs correctly, but you absolutely do not need a gallery field per producer. Galleries can be dynamically built due to asset substitution support and conditions can be dynamic based off profile owner and profile viewer. With both of those in mind you should only need 1-2 galleries at most.

I am not really sure how to handle this. What is the function of profile.[user_id] ? And "30" or "60" in profile.30 or profile.60: are these numbersan id, and, if yes, I didn't found an id in my profile options field....or are these numbers just numbers, random given?
And: the input area of these values in the gallery field is in Parameters "profile value layout" in tab "layout", or under "display >Thematic assignment"?
I guess, I understood. I have to create activity assets , e.g. profile.30.consumer, profile.60.retailer ...aso and in the gallery field under "Thematic assignment" has to be the value "profile.[uset_id].[cb_profile_type](e.g.)", correct?
