I’m trying to allow users to upload an image when adding an entry using the SAEF.
For some reason, when they click the ‘File Upload’ link, it prompts them to log in to the Site’s Admin Section.
(Obviously for me being the Administrator, it didn’t prompt me to do this)

Is there a way around this so that a ‘member’ can upload files?

Here is my ‘Add Entry’ Code:

in reading other posts… I have set both Control Panel & User Session Settings to “Cookie Only”.

Just to clarify…
If I’m logged in to the Front End as a Super Admin, I can upload files via the SAEF.
BUT…
If I’m logged in to the Front End as a Member, I can’t - instead i am prompted to log into the Control Panel.

Do i need to allow ‘Members’ access to the Control Panel?

Well… I tried allowing ‘Members’ to access the CP, and this works for allowing Members to upload files from the SAEF.

I guess my question is… is this the best solution?

Are ‘members’ allowed to post to the particular weblog that you’re trying to post to?  Are ‘members’ allowed to upload files?  I’m guessing that the file upload permissions are off.  There is no need to give access to the CP when using a SAEF.

Are ‘members’ allowed to post to the particular weblog that you’re trying to post to?

Yes

Are ‘members’ allowed to upload files?

Not sure - how do i check this?

Sorry, I just checked the ‘File Upload Preferences’...
Member are allowed to upload files to the specific directory.

Any other suggestions?

The file upload utility is delivered from the control panel, so your users will need CP access. See this kb entry.

Makes sense - thanks heaps
