Hi Mark, This is true, "published" objects are available in a list format that is searchable. Adding in a search feature to the page " Histories shared with you by others" is one possibility. Maybe. It might difficult to accumulate enough to make a search worth it. Another option is to add in dataset permissions. Groups and/or roles can be set up by the instance administrator and then datasets assigned to these. Libraries are other option, if the intention is to be sharing/importing data, as it reduces duplication. Security is a well-covered topic in our wiki: Data libraries http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/DataLibraries/Libraries?highlight=%28rol... http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/DataLibraries/LibrarySecurity?highlight=... http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Learn/Security%20Features?highlight=%28roles%2... Hopefully some of this helps, Jen Galaxy team On 11/12/13 3:59 PM, mark.rose@syngenta.com wrote:

Hello

I am wondering whether it is possible to publish histories so that only certain users can see them. Histories that are published, rather than shared, appear to be more searchable.

Thanks

Mark
