There isn't really a way to set the role usefully at library dataset creation right now. This was discussed in a recent thread that also had some local workarounds: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/BioBlend-AND-Galaxy-Problem-using-upload-f...

Hi,

I'm trying to use the API to upload data into galaxy, setting the access and modify roles as I do so.

I've managed to get the roles working for the libraries (using LIBRARY_ACCESS_in and LIBRARY_MODIFY_in) but when it's uploaded the access roles for the datasets are all set to my personal role. I had a poke about the form for modifying the permissions of a dataset and took a shot at setting DATATSET_ACCESS_in but with no luck.

Is it possible to set the access role for individual datasets using the API? Would this be possible to do at the upload stage or would I need to go over each of the datasets in the library after they've been uploaded and set the access role?

Many thanks,

Joe Ward
