I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
Show models shared to this group in read only mode
(it works with knowledge and prompts)
Actual Behavior
Workspace -> Models
Models are not showing (empty)
Steps to Reproduce
Go to Workspace -> Models
Create a model or open an existing model
Go to access
Set visibility to private
Share the model to two groups
Add one group with write access e.g. admin
Add one group with read access e.g. reader
Log in with a user that is only assigned to the group reader
The user won't see the models in read only mode
(it works with knowledge and prompts)
Logs & Screenshots
no errors in container logs or console
