All files of your | All files of your Galaxy instance belong to a "pseudo-account", a shared account that is generated by an administrator at installation time. A pseudo-account does not belong to an individual person, but belongs to a specific group. Everyone in the group can log in to the pseudo-account using [https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/Using_SSH_keys_in_Linux SSH keys]. The name of the pseudo-account in this case is the same name as the top Galaxy directory explained above, eg., <code>daglxy</code>. In order to modify any file of your Galaxy instance, e.g. configuration files, you first need to log in to the pseudo-account. Before you can log in you must generate an SSH key pair, store your public key somewhere in your <code>home</code> directory, and let the administrator know about that. The administrator will store your public key in an appropriate place, after which you can log in to your pseudo-account. | ||
