Hi Pieter, glad to see that features is actually used :) Do you mind to add your example to the wiki? Otherwise I can also add it if you like. Thanks, Bjoern

Ok, just answering my own question ;) I found a solution, here it goes (also attached):

import logging

log = logging.getLogger( __name__ )

defrestrict_prims_metabolomics( context, tool ):

"""

This tool filter will hide MsClust for non-metabolomics users. This can be

enabled by adding the following to the

``app:main`` section of ``universe_wsgi.ini``::

tool_filters = primsfilters:restrict_prims_metabolomics

"""

# for debugging: import pydevd;pydevd.settrace("L0136815.wurnet.nl")

user = context.trans.user

metabolomics_tools = ["MsClust","textutil","filter" ]

if tool.namein metabolomics_tools:

# logging.warn( 'FILTER MATCHED: %s' %(tool.name))

for user_role in user.roles:

if user_role.role.name == "PRIMS_METABOLOMICS":

returnTrue

# not found to have the role, return false:

returnFalse

else:

# return true for any other tool

returnTrue

Hi,

I would like specify a filter based on a role. Does someone know how to do this? I already have an example on how to do this based on user id (found athttps://wiki.galaxyproject.org/UserDefinedToolboxFilters#For_Administrators) but now I would like to filter out menu items in case users don’t have a specific role.

Thanks and regards,

Pieter Lukasse
