So can one user see another's files in your setup? I'd prefer if each
user could only see and use his own files.

No - they only access their data via the website, which has

it's own user controls, and prevents user A seeing the files

of user B (unless explicitly shared).

How do users get data into Galaxy in your system?

Mostly via the "uplad" tool, or sometimes the remote

data tools (eg from UCSC). Some commonly used

files are also setup on our system as shared libraries

within Galaxy.

Thanks,

I think I fixed this?

Yes :)
