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

Actual Behavior

Hi,
The current behavior is expected: Open WebUI grants a permission if it is enabled either at the user level OR at the group level. This means that even if you disable a feature (e.g., calls, STT, TTS, or image generation) for a group, users who have it enabled in their individual settings will still have access
How to Fix It ?
To fully restrict these features for a group, you must:
Disable the features in the group settings (as you already did)
Disable the same features in the default permissions
This ensures that the features are completely disabled for the group members, as no conflicting permissions will override the restrictions

Blocking a user prevents them from interacting with repositories, such as opening or commenting on pull requests or issues. Learn more about blocking a user.
