[scipion-users] multiuser mode

[Hoover , D. (NIH/C. [E] <hoo...@he...>]

Hi,

I'm new to Scipion, so I hope this is not a silly question.

Can Scipion be used in a multiuser mode?  That is, can an administrator install Scipion in a central, shared location, and have other users with only read permission to that central location run Scipion with input/output in their own local directories?

So far, I can't figure out a way of doing this.  Running the simple tests give error messages.  For example, 

scipion tests model.test_mappers
...
[   FAILED ] TestSqliteMapper.test_SqliteDb

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/apps/scipion/1.1/software/lib/python2.7/unittest/case.py", line 329, in run
    testMethod()
  File "/usr/local/apps/scipion/1.1/pyworkflow/tests/model/test_mappers.py", line 56, in test_SqliteDb
    db._createConnection(self.modelGoldSqlite, timeout=1000)
  File "/usr/local/apps/scipion/1.1/pyworkflow/mapper/sqlite_db.py", line 52, in _createConnection
    self.connection = sqlite.Connection(dbName, timeout, check_same_thread=False)
OperationalError: unable to open database file

Thanks,
