Hello Laure this idea cannot be applied in my use case. indeed I don’t want that users can choose which data to display. I want to hide some data based on their name/group/address (anything that can be useful to clasify my users). Thank you for sharing your ideas :) Fred De : Laure QUINTRIC [mailto:Laure.Quintric@ifremer.fr] Envoyé : mercredi 13 septembre 2017 13:54 À : Peter Cock <p.j.a.cock@googlemail.com>; SAPET, Frederic <frederic.sapet@biogemma.com> Cc : Galaxy-dev <galaxy-dev@lists.galaxyproject.org> Objet : Re: [galaxy-dev] Displaying tool select list according to user A workaround would be to do this : - first, create a tool which will output a tabular loc file with all the custom banks for the connected user. - then add in the ncbi_blast wrapper a select list with the attribute from_dataset to load the loc file generated by the previous tool : see the example here : https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/dev/schema.html#from-dataset I have something like this in the ncbi_blast tool: <param name="userdb_loc_file" type="data" format="tabular" label="My custom dbs"/> <param name="custom_db" type="select" size="120" optional="true" multiple="true" display="checkboxes" label="Select our custom db"> <options from_dataset="userdb_loc_file"> <column name="value" index="0"/> <column name="name" index="1"/> <column name="path" index="2"/> </options> and I set in param userdb_loc_file the loc file which is in my history and looks like this : NCBI_nt<tab>NCBI_nt 2017-05-19<tab>/path/to/biobanks/n/NCBI_nt/current/NCBI_nt/NCBI_nt Laure Le 12/09/2017 à 17:25, Peter Cock a écrit : 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?

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.

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 ?
