Agreed with Dannon, it is a bug that they are showing up in the workflow editor but in general toolbox filters are not meant as a security mechanism.
You can block access to running specific tools (filtered or not) using dynamic job destinations. (Under dynamic job destinations documentation ( https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Jobs#Dynamic_Destination_Mapping) there is an example of enforcing "dev" only tools for a specific set of e-mails as well as an example of how to get a list of admin users in a dynamic job destination. These could be combined to enforce admin only tools. I think there has been some other posts on this topic... ) It is true that one can still see the options of such tools, this is something we will have to think about... Perhaps a 'stronger' filter, though I think this variant of filtering should still be an option, there are many use cases for allowing users to run tools they cannot see. -John On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 5:39 PM, Dannon Baker <dannon.ba...@gmail.com>wrote: > This sounds like a bug; the primary toolbox and workflow editor toolbox > should reflect the same set of tools (exception being workflow-specific > control steps, etc).
