Hello Tilahun, Are you logged into your Galaxy instance UI using your admin account? This will display the Admin menu. Admin permissions are set up in the universe_wsgi.ini file: # -- Users and Security < other items > # Administrative users - set this to a comma-separated list of valid Galaxy # users (email addresses). These users will have access to the Admin section # of the server, and will have access to create users, groups, roles, # libraries, and more. For more information, see: # http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Interface #admin_users = None Hopefully this solves the issue. Going forward, you'll probably find that the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list is the most helpful for local install questions: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Mailing_Lists Best, Jen Galaxy team On 5/8/12 2:10 PM, Tilahun Abebe wrote:

Hi Galaxy users,

I tried to install cutadapt for sequence trimming on a local Galaxy instance. I successfully installed Galaxy as an administrator. However, when Galaxy starts, I don't see the administrator option in the top menu bar with the "Analyze Data, Workflow, Shared Data, Visualization, Help, and User". It looks like the only way I can install cutadapt is with an administrator option. Any suggestion how I can include the administrator option in the menu?

Thanks for your help.

Tilahun
