Galaxy administrators - admin_users setting
Hi all, To make someone an administrator on a local Galaxy install, do I just need to add their email (login) to the comma separated setting admin_users in universe_wsgi.ini? https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Admin/AdminInterface I have this working on one server, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on a second server. Both are now running the current release (changeset 50e249442c5a). Is there some other setting needed to enable the admin interface? Thanks, Peter
Hi Peter First,the obvious question: Have you restarted galaxy? Second: I vaguely remember a similar problem, and if I remember correctly, the problem we had was the space between the comma and the next e-mail address. Hence, make sure you write the line like this: admin_users = foo@bar.com,foo2@bar.com,foo3@bar.com (ie: without any blank spaces) I hope this helps, Hans On 05/09/2011 01:35 PM, Peter Cock wrote:

Yes, and I tried hard reloads in two different browsers (both of which are working on the primary server).
Second: I vaguely remember a similar problem, and if I remember correctly, the problem we had was the space between the comma and the next e-mail address. Hence, make sure you write the line like this:
admin_users = foo@bar.com,foo2@bar.com,foo3@bar.com

I'll double check that. As an aside, it would be interesting to check if the comparison is done case insensitively or not (emails and domain names are case insensitive). Fingers crossed... thanks, Peter

Solved: Another [section] had been added within the [app:main] section of universe_wsgi.ini, so the admin_users setting was not being read.
As an aside, it would be interesting to check if the comparison is done case insensitively or not (emails and domain names are case insensitive).
The user login treats the email address case sensitively, and it also looks like the admin_users does as well. Possibly a bug/oversight? Peter

That has now been fixed: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/changeset/3dd591f01f6a Peter
