Feature Request

Many of the users I deploy Open WebUI to are not very tech savvy. It would be great if more options, namely the option to set the task model, were able to be globally configured.

The current setting is buried in the user settings. Also the current UX is confusing. As an admin, in the admin panel I can set a task model and it automatically applies to my workspace for things like title and tag generation, but when other users generate new chats, they do not get these features unless explicitly enabled in the user settings.

It would be best if these options could be globally configured or at the very least enabled by default for all accounts if the admin has it set and enabled.

The settings in the admin panel should apply to all users, are you sure you're saving your changes?

Yes, users are complaining that their chats just remain 'New Chat', and all my chats get dynamically named. Task model is just set to current model. Cant figure out the issue.

Are you maybe doing it from mobile? I had an issue where if I didn't set the task model on PC it just...didn't save. Also I would suggest refreshing the page for the chat label to update, I'm not sure why it's required, but it is.

I set it from my Mac on Chrome, and I will make a new account and try testing it again. Issue persisted through updates from 0.5.4 to latest
