AFAIK, both $userId (the user numeric id) and $userEmail are added to the parameters in jobs/__init__.py, so should work... On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 12:00 PM, <galaxy-user-request@bx.psu.edu> wrote:

Hello,
Is it possible to access the user name inside a tool's XML configuration file ?
I want to pass the user name (the user who executed the job) as an argument to the tool. Is there such a variable?
Something like:
<tool id="mytool" name="foobar"> <command>mytool.sh --file $input --title $input.name --user $galaxy_user</command> ... ...
