Dear galaxy-dev list,
The documentation (https://galaxyproject.org/admin/config/performance/cluster/) mentions that sudo permissions for /usr/bin/chown are required in order to run jobs as a real user. This causes quite some headache to our system admins (understandably).
I tried (unsuccessfully) to dig a bit in the sources to find the place(s) where sudo chown is called (the idea was to create a small wrapper which might get sudo permissions).
But I found that there is already scripts/external_chown_script.py (which is also referred in galaxy.ini). Is it sufficient to make this script sudo callable? Or where could I invoke a wrapper for sudo chown in the galaxy code?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards, Matthias
