Bug Report

Installation Method

Docker compose linux

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.3.30
Ollama (if applicable): 0.3.12
Operating System: Debian 12
Browser (if applicable): Chrome 120.0

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on 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 the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

The user should be able to delete a chat successfully, and the system should handle the deletion request without errors.

Actual Behavior:

When attempting to delete a user chat, the system raises a KeyError exception due to a missing configuration key. The error occurs in the delete_chat_by_id function in the chats.py file.

Description

Bug Summary:
The delete_chat_by_id function in the chats.py file attempts to access a configuration key that does not exist, resulting in a KeyError exception. This prevents the user from deleting a chat successfully.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

Start the Open WebUI application.
0. Create a new user (non-admin)

Log in as the just created user (ensure chat deletion permissions: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_DELETION=true).
Navigate to the chat interface and select a chat to delete (...).
Click the "Delete" button to initiate the deletion process.
The system will raise a KeyError exception in the delete_chat_by_id function, located in the chats.py file, due to the missing configuration key.

Logs and Screenshots
