Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23547

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

Public channels show a users button on the top right, which leaks all the users information and if they are online or not.

Desired Solution you'd like

Environment variable to disable this feature, or remove the button indefinitely with public channels

No response
Additional Context

In case of an implementation inside an insititut or company, this is
definitely against the data protection rules.

Sounds like a case for an env var.

Though I am not sure why this is .. "against data protection rules".

Because I am very sure it's not against GDPR - and if you use any other messanger or email app like Teams, Outlook, Slack, ... you also see all your people's online statuses there.

@Classic298 This kinda makes since, though a messenger or email app has different user/privacy policy as an ai UI. I'll change the description
