Permissions And Private Roles

Question: Permissions And Private Roles

7.1 years ago by

Hi all Išm trying to get my head round permissions on Data Libraries. I have a couple of questions 1) When I come to give access to a library the only roles I see are the current (admin) useršs private roles and other non-private roles I have created - no other private roles. Reading the wiki page suggests that I should see all roles private and non-private. 2) Is there a way to give a role access to just one folder of a library rather than the whole library?

Hello Anthony, The list of roles you see on the permission page for data library items ( folders and datasets ) is dependent upon the following: 1. Whether you are setting permissions on the library item from the Admin view ( where you should see both private and public roles ) or the Data Libraries view ( where you should only see your own private roles along with certain other public roles 2. The level in the hierarchy of the data library at which you are setting permissions. At the top level ( the data library level ), you have the ability to set the LIBRARY_ACCESS permission for the entire data library hierarchy. Depending upon the roles you associate here, all lower levels in the data library hierarchy show only those roles that are derived from the roles you set at the top LIBRARY_ACCESS permission. This is because it makes no sense to allow user john to have some permission to do something in a lower folder of a data library when he is not associated with the permission to even access the library at the top level. Not knowing which wiki you've read, make sure to see these: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Library%20Security http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GDC2010?action=AttachFile&do=get&targ et=GDC2010_data_libraries_sample_tracking.pdf Yes, but again, the user with the role must be able to access the data library ( either the data library is public, or the user with the role is associated with the LIBRARY_ACCESS permission at the top level.

Hi Greg Thanks for the reply. I can see now that as an admin user I can now add private roles using the Admin View as opposed to the data libraries view. It is still a bit unclear how a folder can be visible to one user but not to another. If both users have access to the library then they can view all folders, correct? I can see how I can edit add/modify permissions for a folder but not the view/access permission. Also another question about permissions. If I create a Galaxy page and share that with limited users then it appears that the datasets are all public via a URL is that correct? Thanks again Anthony ********************************************************************** **** The information contained in the EMail and any attachments is confidential and intended solely and for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
