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 currently have dynamic Jinja2-style variables like {{USER_NAME}} and {{CURRENT_DATE}} so the system prompt adapts to each user and session automatically, which can be very useful. However, we don't have a {{USER_GROUPS}} option, which would make a model or session aware of things a user might have access to or inherent knowledge about their role in an organization. I'd like to have that.

Desired Solution you'd like

Create a new dynamic variable {{USER_GROUPS}} that expands to a comma separated list of Open-WebUI groups they're listed in.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

I will happily build if you are game to merge @tjbck / @Classic298

🔍 Related Issues Found

I found some existing issues that might be related. Please check if any of these are duplicates or contain helpful solutions:

  1. 🟣 #15589 feat: user prompt variables
    This is the core precursor feature for dynamic user prompt variables, which introduced the same Jinja2-style variable mechanism that {{USER_GROUPS}} would extend. It is the closest direct match to a request for adding a new user-specific prompt variable.
    by tjbck

  2. 🟣 #16990 feat: Group level system prompts
    This request is about applying system prompts at the group level, so it is conceptually related to making prompts aware of a user's group membership. While it does not ask for a variable, it targets the same group-aware prompt customization area.
    by Phizicks

  3. 🟣 #22527 bug: Group membership is not updated for admin users
    This bug concerns how group membership is synced and represented in Open WebUI. Since {{USER_GROUPS}} would depend on accurate group membership data, this issue is relevant to the underlying group-membership functionality.
    by tomekpz · bug

  4. 🟣 #24401 issue: KV cache invalidation with dynamic variables in system prompt
    This issue is about dynamic variables in system prompts and how they are recalculated. It is relevant because {{USER_GROUPS}} would use the same dynamic-variable system and could be subject to the same prompt-processing behavior.
