# Gallery says 'No images in this folder' but the folder definitely has images

**What you are seeing**

A gallery says 'No images in this folder' but the folder definitely has images

---

## Why it happens

The reader most likely cannot see the folder's space. Confluence filters search results by permission and returns an empty result rather than refusing the query, so a permission problem looks identical to an empty folder.

---

## What to do

Check that the reader has View permission on the space the folder lives in. Or on CAPABLEASSETSTORE if the gallery scope is Global.
