The following changeset demonstrates how one could implement this
https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-central/commit/b500a24bc1aa94bef48db20a7...
First step is to create a new dynamic job destination, this is demonstrated in job_conf.xml in the above changeset. This demonstrates the new style job_conf section - this will need to be adapted for the old style runners but is still doable.
Then you will want to add a dynamic job runner rule that implements this logic. This is the file lib/galaxy/jobs/rules/license_checker.py.
This will do what you asked, you can adjust the tools it targets and the message that gets displayed to the user pretty easily (right now it is just "No license, no tool").
There is no longer any need to display such tools to the user thanks to dynamic toolbox filters. This is that last file: lib/galaxy/tools/filters/license_filter.py. This will prevent any tool in the list 'LICENSED_TOOLS' from even being seen by unlicensed users. You do need to specify this filter is being used by adding the line:
tool_filters = license_filter:has_license
in the [app:main] section of universe_wsgi.ini.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Could somebody point me to the place where I can create a ticket for the following feature:
- We want to have tools available only to users who provided a licence for this tool.
- To prevent very long email lists (see example on dev-only tools), I'd like to have a group 'have_licence'
- in dynamic job runner function : check if user is in usergroup : ok => run ; fail => give message.
Or can I hide tools from the menu based on usergroup?
Best,
