[ome-devel] SessionService

[Mark Woodbridge]

Hi,

We would like to schedule an overnight script that batch-converts some 
raw images into OME-TIFF and then uploads them to OMERO whist retaining 
their original ownership. All the users owning the images are in the 
same group.

In the past I have used the SessionService to run scripts on behalf of 
other users, and it works fine but requires the OMERO superuser 
password. Is there any way to create a superuser just for this group and 
restrict the users that it can impersonate? Or another means of using 
the Command Line Importer without sharing the main admin user's (or 
individual users') password(s)?

OMERO.dropbox is maybe another option but we're using a network drive 
for our OMERO filesystem.

Mark.
