Strangely the set permission option was not showing for my non-admin 
users.  I created a group and added users to it and gave them complete 
permissions for ansel.  That did not seem to help.  Now one of the three 
users in the group can access "download as zip" and other options for 
another user's gallery but the user who created the gallery does not 
have those options.  A third member of the group does not have any of 
the extended options. I am using the sql backend for groups.  Any tips 
or advice would be appreciated.  I am using ansel H3 1.1.2.
