Re: [Gmod-ajax] Jbrowse Authentication

[Sofia R. <so...@so...>]

Hello Rob and Colin and All.

Just wanted to through in my two cents.

User Authentication in JBrowse is definitely something we are interested
in. We would LOVE to be able to keep some tracks private, such as on going
research, while the rest are open to the world. Right now I have to set up
two separate JBrowse installations to get what we need, and it is sometimes
kinda a pain to remember to do what I need to do in both.

Thanks,
Sofia
