Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

0.6.38

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.12.10

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.02

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome, Firefox

Confirmation

  • 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

Log in as regular user, you should be able to select models

Actual Behavior

Log in as regular user, no models are visible
Log in as admin on another tab, both users can now select models
Log out admin
=> regular user's token disppears from local storage
=> models are still visible
=> user chat is now inactive

Steps to Reproduce

Log in as regular user, no models are visible
Log in as admin on another tab, both users can now select models
Log out admin
=> regular user's token disppears from local storage
=> models are still visible
=> user chat is now inactive
