Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

We are currently adapting open webui for a customer to meet their business criteria and design guidelines (yes, they have an enterprise license). We identified some features that are not needed for the customer and where therefore disabled/deleted in the codebase.

  • Splash screen
  • User menu in sidebar
  • Notes feature
  • Temporary chat feature

Desired Solution you'd like

It would be great if these features could be disabled by using configuration parameters. Would you be willing to accept a PR with these changes guarded by feature flags / environment variables?

FYI you can already disable Notes via "General" settings as well as permissions and temporary chat via permissions.

You can just... disable Notes, temporary chats and some parts of the user menu.

Splash screen? You mean the loading-splash screen is .. not wanted?

And since you (implying a consultant) are helping a customer (with an enterprise license as you said - which comes with support) with this - maybe you should read the docs and find out how to disable Notes and temporary chats there. It is all in the docs.

Why would you open an ISSUE to ask a question? Discussions are for Q&A

I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

You even ticked this requirement but clearly you did not use the search

I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

And you also agreed to this, which clearly states during the issue-opening-form that the issues are ONLY for trivial feature requests or actual issues aka bugs.
