I am trying to pass this info to by plugin mako that will display an output file in their history. With that info and the history data file location I can pass a URL for the file location to the tool in the mako doing the display.

Tools already have access to the user email etc. and the api key is encoded so I do not believe any more info is conveyed to the tool than is available already. For example we have a program that calls galaxy with an api key to bring up the correct history when they begin.

Good morning,

I hope there is not, because tool should not have access to user's credentials.

If you explain a bit what are you trying to do we can probably be of more help.

Thank you for using Galaxy.

Good morning team,

Is there a way to access the current user's API Key similar to seeing their email address via a tool's xml parameter "$__user_email__" ?

Thanks,

Bob
