Hi Oren,
I am posting the answer given to the galaxy-dev mailing list below for other users, even thought this is a development topic. Next time, please only post to a single mailing list.
Thanks!

Dear Nate,
Thanks for your answer.
- I could not find it in the admin panel in the UI. When I click on
"Manage users", I get the user list and can select users, but there is no "Delete User" button. Hi Oren,
Hrm, it looks like the option to delete users was removed from the interface since it couldn't be made conditional on a configuration setting (due to a limitation in Galaxy's "Grids" feature, which is used to display the table of users in the UI). They can be added by uncommented lines 98-100 in lib/galaxy/web/controllers/admin.py:
#operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Delete", condition=( lambda item: not item.deleted ), allow_multiple=True ) ) #operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Undelete", condition=( lambda item: item.deleted and not item.purged ), allow_multiple=True ) ) #operations.append( grids.GridOperation( "Purge", condition=( lambda item: item.deleted and not item.purged ), allow_multiple=True ) )
- Which call in the code deletes a user? I can then write my own API
method. mark_user_deleted() in lib/galaxy/web/base/controller.py. The preferred method for implementing API methods is by moving the code in the web UI controller which performs the actual action to lib/galaxy/actions/ and then changing the API and UI methods to call that method. See the implementation of the Quota API for a reference.
- If I try to reset passwords for more than one user at a time, I
get the error trackback:
TypeError: Odd-length string URL:

- A similar problem occurs when I try to delete multiple data
libraries under "Manage data libraries". One library deletion works, but multiple yields an error message:
Invalid Library id (

Thanks for reporting these, we'll fix them as soon as possible. I've created a bitbucket here to track them:
