I'm running the stable copy of galaxy and noticed that some custom,
administrative tools (and otherwise tools which should be restricted
in access due to licensing/etc.) were showing up in normal user's
toolboxes inside the workflow editor.
I feel that this is a bug, as the tool filters should be applied
globally and not just in terms of what tools users are restricted
from seeing in the normal toolbox.
For me, this presents a problem as I strongly believe any
administrative tools that exist should leak as little information as
possible--not their entire set of options and associated
documentation. Additionally, that sort of information leakage isn't
acceptable by my organisation's policies.
Do I have my instance misconfigured or is this an actual bug?
I have my galaxy configured according to
