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
