Dave, We have been thinking along the same line since not all tools are suitable or just too overwhelming for endusers and having group-linkage would be great to have. I have only seen examples of linking the executing of tools to usergroups (like the dynamic tool_refresh mod) but in our local instance all (including non admins) are still able to execute it... not sure why and what is wrong. It would be better to have user or group dependent left panel.

It looks to me like all galaxy tools are available to all galaxy users. We were thinking about patching our local galaxy to use the same roles that are used for data files for tools as well. Is this something others are interested in? Is this something that's already being worked on by the galaxy core team? (We'd hate to duplicate effort if someone is already doing this) Thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev
