Hello,
At the moment I don't think there is a way to restrict usage of specific tool(s) to specific user(s). Is anyone thinking on developing this kind of functionality? I guess it might be a bit complicated to implement?
I guess an "easier" alternative is to have different galaxy instances running, each one with a different tool set?
Instead of running multiple instances I would recommend you to add few lines of code in your tool configuration file (.xml) 1. Export the $__user_email__ variable along with the tool call section in XML file. ex: <command>/path-to-tool/wrapper.sh ARG1 ARG2 ... $__user_email__ </command> 2. In the wrapper.sh script, add the following line in the before calling your main program. if [ "${@: -1}" != "vipin.ts@gmail.com" ]; then echo 'You donot have enough privilege to access this tool, please contact galaxy@tuebingen.mpg.de' exit fi By doing this way the tool name will be listed in the tool panel of Galaxy instance, but for this specified user can only access the same. I know this is not an automated way of implementation and happy to hear if somebody have another fix for the same. I implemented this in my public Galaxy instance and it is accessible here<http://galaxy.fml.mpg.de/tool_runner?tool_id=rquant_web> . HTH, Vipin Thanks,
