Maiimg Secure Image Sharing: Complete Guide to Access Control and Security

Use this when you need controlled image delivery instead of public posting.

Operating Model

Treat Maiimg galleries as controlled distribution units:

• Restrict access by view count.
• Restrict availability by expiry date.
• Restrict session length by duration.
• Revoke access by deleting the gallery.

Recommended Baseline by Risk Level

Content sensitivity	View limit	Expiry	Duration
Low (public-style assets)	High or unlimited	30-90 days	Optional
Medium (client drafts)	Medium	7-30 days	Optional
High (confidential previews)	Low	1-7 days	Short

Configuration Workflow

1. Upload the image set.
2. Set view limits first.
3. Add expiry second.
4. Add duration only if needed.
5. Generate link/QR and run one mobile test.

Access Patterns

Pattern A: Client review round

• Moderate view limit.
• Short expiry.
• Downloads optional.
• Use open statistics to decide reminder timing.

Pattern B: Time-limited campaign assets

• High view limit.
• Hard expiry date.
• Separate gallery per partner group.

Pattern C: Sensitive proposal previews

• Low view limit.
• Very short expiry.
• Duration enabled.

Monitoring and Response

Watch these indicators after sharing:

• Opens too low: distribution issue, resend with clearer CTA.
• Opens too high: link forwarding risk, tighten settings.
• Opens after decision deadline: close gallery.

Common Mistakes

• Leaving default settings for sensitive files.
• Reusing the same link for different audiences.
• Setting long expiry “just in case”.
• Applying maximum restrictions to every scenario.

Practical Limits (Important)

• Access controls reduce casual leakage risk.
• They do not prevent screenshots or external camera capture.
• They are strongest when combined with short sharing windows and audience-specific links.

Bottom Line

Start from a baseline policy, tighten only where needed, and regularly close stale galleries.
That gives better security with less delivery friction.
