I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Git Clone
Open WebUI Version
v06.22
Ollama Version (if applicable)
--
Operating System
Debian 12
Browser (if applicable)
firefox
Confirmation
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
go to user admin page as admin, click on a user's role -> say ok to the popup. role get updated
Actual Behavior
has a 405 Error because the endpoint does not seems to exists
Steps to Reproduce
start with a clean install of open-webui (mine is installed with pip)
create admin user
set "default role" to pending
disconect
create a new account
reconnect as admin
go to user administration page (admin/users)
try to change the user role
get a 405

Additional Information
I looked at the code in the backend router for the subpath 'users' and did not found any trace of the route used by the frontend. I used github's search to seek for the route and only found it in a typescript frontend file. also searched for update/role
