I've created a card for anonymous use of workflows and visualizations:

I'd also been been worried about a similar requirement to ensure reviewers
could have anonymous access to software run as a service. In that case
even providing dummy accounts to the reviewers might not have been
allowed (since the administrator could easily 'spy' on what the reviewers
did or didn't try).

Given this potential barrier to publishing a paper using or extending
Galaxy, I would hope extending Galaxy so that users can choose to
share a workflow (or visualization) with anyone - even an anonymous
user - would be a priority.

Is there a trello issue on this? Searching there isn't very intuitive to me...

[galaxy-dev] Anonymous use of workflows and visualization?

2013-01-14 Thread Sveinung Gundersen
Hello all,

We are wondering if it is possible to activate anonymous use of the workflows 
and the visualization (trackster) features of Galaxy, somehow?

This is a strict requirement for the acceptance of our new paper in a specific 
journal.

Hack solutions are also welcome!

Thanks,

[galaxy-dev] Anonymous use of workflows and visualization?

2013-01-14 Thread Sveinung Gundersen
Hello all,

We are wondering if it is possible to activate anonymous use of the workflows 
and the visualization (trackster) features of Galaxy, somehow?

This is a strict requirement for the acceptance of our new paper in a specific 
journal.

Hack solutions are also welcome!

Thanks,

Re: [galaxy-dev] Anonymous use of workflows and visualization?

2013-01-14 Thread Jeremy Goecks
Shared/published visualizations should be able to be used completely 
anonymously, so that shouldn't be a problem. (Let us know if you find 
otherwise.)

Workflows, however, are tied to user accounts, so using them requires a login 
for now. Viewing workflows anonymously should be possible, however.

Galaxy doesn't check the validity of user emails, so an argument could be made 
that all Galaxy accounts are anonymous even if they are tied to a particular 
user ID. Along these lines, one solution is to modify your Galaxy instance to 
automatically create anonymous users as needed. When a user wants to use your 
workflows/visualizations, then they're directed to create and use an anonymous 
account; the instance could then periodically (e.g. 1 hour/day) delete all 
anonymous accounts.

Please do share your solution with the list when you come up with something 
workable.

Best,
J.
