I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

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
USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_TEMPORARY_ENFORCED works as expected
Actual Behavior
Any message ends up to a 404 error.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch Open WebUI with:
USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_TEMPORARY_ENFORCED=True
WEBUI_AUTH=True
BYPASS_MODEL_ACCESS_CONTROL=True
ENABLE_SIGNUP=True
Create an admin user
Create an user
With the user, try to initiate a chat (temporary chat banner will show up)
You get the error above
It seems that frontend is not sending correct JSON body when USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_TEMPORARY_ENFORCED is enabled (everything works when it's set to False).

Did you check the user specific permissions in the admin panel that overwrite environment variables?

Did you check the user specific permissions in the admin panel that overwrite environment variables?
Also, it seems that the issue is caused by this check.
When temporary_enforced is enabled, the frontend send chat_id: "local" and this check on DB is failing because local should not be a real database record.

@mpangrazzi commented on GitHub (Aug 11, 2025):
@Classic298 Yes, they seems to be correct.
Also, it seems that the issue is caused by [this check](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/438e5d966f0f64f9ea3feab22724a5bd96a4127b/backend/open_webui/main.py#L1446).
When `temporary_enforced` is enabled, the frontend send `chat_id: "local"` and this check on DB is failing because `local` should not be a real database record.
Updating the line above to:
```python
if metadata.get("chat_id") and metadata["chat_id"] != "local" and (user and user.role != "admin"):
# ...
```
Fixes the issue. Does it make sense to you?

not really, I just use the official Docker image, I don't know how I would check it
