Hello.

Will Galaxy NG have repository access restrictions like private and public?

Hello @kolesaev, welcome to the community forum!

Do you mean the [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com) instance or a private install of Galaxy NG?

For ex. for the public [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com) instance repositories in github should be public, and collections as well as roles show publicly there.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

If we speak exactly about Galaxy\_NG, will we be able to restrict access to new role/collection repositories published there and make them downloadable and visible only for a list of users?

I don’t think that’s possible (or planned). If you want to publish collections to only some users, you can always host your own private galaxy\_ng instance. (Not sure how that works with roles… I guess you can also self-host that part of galaxy\_ng, but I’m not sure whether it’s suited for non-public role repositories.)
