Changing security settings

After you change security for a Galaxy, you see the following behaviors and conditions:

• When you change the authentication mode security, the IDE restarts.

  Important! Make sure that you have a valid login for the IDE before changing the authentication mode, especially if changing from "None." If not, create a login before changing authentication modes.

• To switch users:

  1. Select Galaxy from the menu bar

  2. Select User from the backstage options.

  3. Select the Change User button.

  4. Enter your credentials (credential of the new user).

• If you previously configured security under one authentication mode and then switch authentication modes, only those users created while configuring the new mode are available. Other users are not deleted, just unavailable in the new mode.

• Objects that are reassigned to different security groups are marked as "pending update" and require redeployment for the change in security group to take effect.

• If security was previously configured for an OS-based authentication mode, reconfiguring security synchronizes the user’s full name and OS groups if some data in the OS has changed.
