Configuring Data Library Usage for Non-Admins
Hi all, I was able to configure Galaxy so that admins can use its Data Library functionality. My colleague then asked if I could do the same for non-admin users. I looked at the universe_wsgi.ini file and added a folder for the users. How will I know that all is ready? I logged-in with a non-admin account and I found nothing altered in the interface. Is there something else that I need to do? Thanks in advance for the help! Cheers, CL
Hello Ciara, Make sure to set up directories based on the information in the following comments in universe_wsgi.ini: # The following can be configured to allow non-admin users to upload a directory of files. The # configured directory must contain sub-directories named the same as the non-admin user's Galaxy # login ( email ). The non-admin user is restricted to uploading files or sub-directories of files # contained in their directory. user_library_import_dir = /Users/some_directory/non_admin_/users So, for example, using the above directory setting, assume you've added the following 2 subdirectories in the /Users/some_directory/non_admin_/users directory where each is a valid user's account in the local Galaxy instance. drwxr-xr-x 3 gvk gvk 102 May 5 2011 test1@bx.psu.edu drwxr-xr-x 3 gvk gvk 102 May 5 2011 test3@bx.psu.edu Then each user will be able to upload files to a data library that are contained in their respective directory. Make sure the stop / restart your Galaxy server whenever you make changes to universe_wsgi.ini. Greg Von Kuster On Jun 14, 2012, at 10:11 PM, Ciara Ledero wrote:

Okay, so the only way for a user to upload a file with a size greater than 2GB is to use FTP? Or can a non-admin user be granted permission to upload files using the filesystem path option, given that he/she can only access his/her own directory? Thanks, CL

Hi Ciara, They can use the "upload from a directory" method if you configure Galaxy as explained by greg (user_library_import_dir). Users will also need to have permissions to upload to libraries that the admin chooses. From the admin interface, select a library, click "Library Actions" -> "Edit permissions", and then assign the appropriate users' private role(s) to the "add library item" permission. --nate

Hi again, I've already done what you guys have suggested, but when I tried uploading a file, I got this error: The directory <some directory here> contains no valid files I checked if I placed the right path and created the correct folder, and everything seems fine. The file is a FASTQ file (ending in .fq). What could be causing Galaxy to see the file as not valid for upload? Thanks for the help!
