Change users

You can change users in a Galaxy at any time. Any security restrictions associated with a user change when the user logs on or logs off from the Galaxy. For more information about users and security, see Work with security.

If the Galaxy has not been configured to enable security, you see a message. All users in an open-security environment are treated as the DefaultUser by the Galaxy. In an open-security environment, all users have full access to everything.
