Re: [scipion-users] multiuser mode

[Jose M. de la R. T. <del...@gm...>]

Hi David,

It is not a silly question, I think that we should put it in a FAQ wiki
page.

Scipion is designed so it can be used in multi-users environments, where
the administration install it and give just read and execution permission
to the users.
The problem with the tests is that the data is downloaded in
/path/to/scipion/data/tests, so the admin should download the the datasets
for the tests in advance.
In that way, the users can execute the test without the need to download
the dataset in that location.

If you use the following command you can see the available datasets:

scipion testdata --help (or --list)

Hope this helps
Bests,
Jose Miguel
