[galaxy-dev] "allow_user_impersonation" (was: creating a hierarchy of students teachers and courses)

Hi

I am sorry for hijacking someone else's thread:

...

3.   teachers having read access to students’ work
   

This one is why I would give the teachers admin access - I think they could impersonate the students to access their work (set allow_user_impersonation = True in universe_wsgi.ini). It would mean that every teacher would have full access to every students work - if this is a problem you might want to consider standing up a Galaxy instance per class - there is some up front overhead with this - but it would make cleaning things up really easy.

"allow_user_impersonation" does not work when using external authentication. Are there any fixes for this in progress?

If not shall I create a Trello card?
