Open Microscopy Environment

Hello everyone,

I have a question about exporting images from the public group.

I wonder if it is possible to allow the free export of images from the public group.

we would like to have the possibility to export images from the public group without authentication.

As we often generate mutidimentional images, we want to have a free export with the original format, the format OME.TIFF and the other formats too (png, jpeg, tiff).

I have another question about the public group, is it possible to have by default the display of images "all members" rather than the images of the public user only.

With this link I want to see directly images of all members :

thank you very much

Hi Sameh,

Hope your day is going excellent!

First question:

For image downloads (such as original file, png, jpg, tiff) you need to grant the ability for public users to be able to access the urls for downloading images.

You can do this by tweaking the omero configuration property omero.web.public.url_filter and an example of how to do this can be found on here, under the fifth bullet point.

To allow users to use the OME-TIFF download option, you have to set omero configuration property omero.web.public.get_only to false. Keep in mind however, doing this could allow a public user to Create, Edit or Delete data which requires POST requests.

Second question:

In order to default the display of images belonging to All Members for public users, you could use the omero configuration property shown as an example on here. Also, if you are sharing an omero URL, you could also add experimenter=-1 to the end of the URL which displays images for All Members (e.g https://omero.france-bioinformatique.fr ... imenter=-1).

If you need a more universal solution, do let us know. However, I must warn each solution comes with their own set of caveats, so possibly the simplest is best.

Kind regards,
Riad
