I made a galaxy account linked to my github account under my own name. This is for personal stuff.  
I also made an account with the name of a github group to upload all roles from this group.

Starting January 1, 2016 galaxy will only support github authentication… what now?  
I have to make a special github account just to upload the roles of a group?! An account that will have a different name then the group?!

As a bonus there seems to be no way to delete my personal galaxy account to connect my personal github account to the galaxy group account…

This just seems so wrong! Galaxy really needs group support.

The date is arbitrary, to give us time to work out precisely these questions. Step one is to make sure the direction – stronger association with Github, which we absolutely need – is clear.

I see you already filed a github issue, so thanks for that. Galaxy users: is this a common issue?
