I put together a script to do this. It is described in the galaxy-dev thread titled: "[galaxy-dev] user creation using API". It doesn't actually use the API, it uses the db_shell.py script. Hope this helps. -John On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 7:11 PM, Adam Brenner <aebrenne@uci.edu> wrote:

Howdy All,

I was wondering if anyone has created a command line tool that will add users to the Galaxy user database?

I did look into switching to external user authentication via nginx, however, this will result in us using the campus wide kerberos system and allowing ~30,000 people access to Galaxy... and thus offering us less fine grain control to Galaxy.

Anything anyone has to share would be much appreciated, -Adam
