Hi,

we recently activated the feature for non admin users which allows them to upload a directory of files:

…

# Add an option to the library upload form which allows authorized

# non-administrators to upload a directory of files.  The configured directory

# must contain sub-directories named the same as the non-admin user's Galaxy

# login ( email ).  The non-admin user is restricted to uploading files or

# sub-directories of files contained in their directory.

#user_library_import_dir = None

user_library_import_dir = /opt/galaxy/galaxy-share/

…

However we would like to restrict the permission to only link to their files without copying them into galaxy, is this possible?

Greetings, Thomas
