Hi Guarav, Since this question is regarding a local install, I've moved the thread to the galaxy-dev list. Please see responses inline below. gaurav thareja wrote:

Hi All,

Thank you for last reply and links about galaxy structure. The links were helpful. But still I am uncertain about many files and their uses. To previous question, I will require further help on following issues:

1. Where all users information is stored in file structure so that i can add custom users for my galaxy server?

They are stored in the database, in a table called 'galaxy_user'. By default the database is a SQLite file: galaxy-dist/database/universe.sqlite We recommend using PostgreSQL, however. By default, users can create their own accounts, and anyone can use Galaxy anonymously. This behavior can be modified in galaxy-dist/universe_wsgi.ini with the 'allow_user_creation' and 'require_login' options. You can always register accounts via the 'Register' link under the 'User' tab at the top of the Galaxy interface. You can also create accounts as an administrator from the 'Admin' interface. Once you have created your own account in Galaxy, just set that email address in 'admin_users' in galaxy-dist/universe_wsgi.ini to enable the admin interface for your user.

2. Is it possible to customize left purple panel?

Yes, see the galaxy-dist/tool_conf.xml file. --nate

My real aim is to customize the galaxy browser instance as per my needs and use for internal development, which i think is possible?. So, if you guys have any development documents which can be shared to provide further insights about file and directory structure will be really helpful.

Regards
