Any way for regular users to add keywords?

I have a club member asking if there's any way they can keyword some mountainbiking photos I have taken... I presume I could grant them an assistant login, but I'd prefer not to do that really...

Is it possible to allow them to add keywords? They don't have a smugmug account so the friends and family options don't appear to be suitable...

Any other thoughts?

    Have them start a trial, then be a friend, they can edit keywords at that point:

    Thanks Andy - I had thought of this but it seemed a little underhand, especially if there are 3-4 events this year over the course of summer (southern hemisphere!) and they needed to sign up for more than one trial.

    I guess there's no other way?

    On the plus side I seemed to get the keyword search working pretty well - even if the keyword adding seems buggy as an anthill.

    Assistant Password.

    I considered that as well, but in this case I'm a little concerned that the assistant password exposes too much of my site to someone I really don't know.

    I guess I'm a bit frustrated there's no way to enable visitors to tag photos (even if I need to give a password for that, or if it's only available on some galleries)

    I firmly believe that not having a free plan is a good business decision by Smugmug, but it's a shame that there isn't a free login available for this sort of thing.

    Cheers - N
