Email notification and Workflow sharing for all users
I apologize for reposting this, but I really need some advice on how to meet this requirement:
From what I understand about Galaxy so far, in order to have a user notified that their job has completed, a workflow has to be created in which email notification is chosen as a "Step Action".
For the project that I'm currently working on, I need to have a link to one particular workflow appear in the Tools left-hand side panel/frame for every user that logs in to Galaxy. They shouldn't have to import the specific workflow — it should automatically be listed. I know that I can create links in the Tools panel, but it seems that in order to access a workflow (via direct URL such as: '/workflow/run?id=12345') the logged in user has to either be the creator of the workflow or the creator has to have explicitly "shared" the workflow with the user. Is there a way to grant "share" permission on a workflow to all logged-in users, so that I can list it as a Tool link and it shows up for all users, current and those who may register in the future? Or is there some other approach I can/should take to enable job completion notification for all logged-in users? -Rohit
Paul, Sorry for the slow reply. We've been discussing this issue internally:

Published workflows should meet your needs as they are accessible to all users. What we think should happen--but isn't yet implemented--is that published workflows should appear below shared workflows when a user clicks Workflows --> All Workflows. We plan to implement this in the future, but it's not a priority right now. If you do implements something of this sort, please consider share your code either by forking on bitbucket or sending a patch to this list; we welcome community contributions to the galaxy source code. Best, J.
