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, Permissions on a folder are derived from permissions on specific datasets contained in the folder. So, if folder1 contains dataset1 and dataset2, and only Jack can see dataset 1 in folder1 and only Jill can see dataset2 in Folder1, both Jack and Jill can see Folder1, but Spot cannot. In addition, even though both Jack and Jill can see Folder1, each of them will be able to see only their respective dataset. I'm not the expert on pages, Jeremy, can you answer this one?

Yes, all datasets are public via URL by default in Galaxy, and a Galaxy Page makes it easy to find this URL. Without knowing the dataset hash id and/or the instance's secret key, it's very difficult to guess a URL that leads to a valid dataset. To change a dataset's permissions, click on the pencil ("Edit attributes") and scroll to the bottom of the attributes page. Thanks, J.

I'm not following you here - please decipher your folder names, which I assume are mapped to your encoded request strings. Greg Von Kuster Galaxy Development Team greg@bx.psu.edu

HI Greg Sorry for the confusion. The links are to screenshot uploads of Galaxy showing the folder visibilities. If itšs still not clear please send a quick mail.

Anthony, Yours may be a corner case scenario that isn't properly handled, although I'm not sure it's critical as the data you want protected is, in fact, protected (or am I still not seeing it correctly?). If you feel this is a bug, please submit a ticket, although this is far off my development plans for the forsee-able future. Thanks! Greg Von Kuster Galaxy Development Team greg@bx.psu.edu

Hi Greg Yes all the data security is fine itšs just me trying to find a way to present the end resultsš from a workflow/history to group heads who wonšt be especially interested in how we got there but more in the final story. Itšs not a major bug so I wonšt for the moment submit a ticket. It may be that galaxy pages and protecting datasets within these is the way to go. Thanks for your help and persisting with the problem.
