Thanks Fred, That's the previous discussion I was trying to find - sadly no clear solution but some ideas to explore. It does seem filtering example.loc by user or role is not a niche request. I wonder if this could be linked to the Galaxy data library permissions structure as a way to manage the access rights?

Hi Laure,
There are others users (including me! ) that need this kind of function :
http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Blast-db-permission-td4670440.html
@Galaxy team:
Do we need to add an issue in GitHub ?
Do you think that it could be enabled one day ?
I think this something that could be nice to develop !
I would be glad to help.
Thank a lot
Fred

Hi Laure,
I don't think there is any easy to use mechanism for this in Galaxy.
Unfortunately Galaxy loads all the *.loc files at startup and treats
them as global values available to all users equally.
I can't find the email thread, but I recall someone previously trying
to do something with a single large example.loc file for all users
but with an extra column for filtering by account name. I forget if
they got these changes to work or not.
Assuming you only have a few separate versions of the example.loc
file, you could create copies of the BLAST wrapper XML file which
use the specific *.loc file - and then restrict the tool by user?
In either case at a minimum you would have to maintain local
changes to the BLAST wrappers (and potentially changes to
Galaxy itself), which is not a good situation.

Hello Galaxy users,
I try to figure out how I can display a select list into a galaxy tool according to the connected user.
I have several .loc files containing the paths for custom blast databases I have created for several users (user1.loc, user2.loc, and so on). I would like the blast tool to display the specific databases for the connected user (user1 or user2).
Any idea on how to proceed ? Regards, Laure
