For the gallery I suggest http://drupal.org/project/media_gallery together with http://drupal.org/project/plupload. That should take care of the gallery and multiple file upload problems. I have never tried to restrict access to it, so I'll leave that to you.

Does anyone know of a gallery solution for Drupal 7 that has the ability to restrict access to specific roles and to upload images in bulk?

At the moment I have to create 2 galleries a month with about 60 - 80 images per gallery.. Doing it an image at a time would take far too long..

I have looked are "Brilliant Gallery" but it just threw out lots of errors and "fast_gallery" has no access control.. Everything else seems to want you to load photos one at a time..

Alternatively is there are way to use Drupal user accounts for a form of basic authentication so I could just get a basic one page page php galley script and allow access to valid Drupal users using .htaccess directives?
