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

v0.6.40

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

ubuntu 24.04

Browser (if applicable)

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

As an admin I want to seperate users in more than 3 groups i.e. 6 groups
I want to assign different models to different groups via the model detail page.
I use the drop down selector to choose any of my existing groups to select.

Actual Behavior

Having more than 3 groups the model drop down selector for groups on both
/admin/settings/models
/workspace/models/edit?id=

only shows the 3 lowest groups shown in
/admin/users/groups

having more groups than 3 make all other groups not shown here, making group assignment for these impossible.

Also, having a model previously assigned to more than 3 groups, it is still assigned to these groups, but on the model page only 3 groups max are displayed with permissions.

Steps to Reproduce

Create +3 groups in admin/users/groups
Go to a model detail page in admin/settings/models
Try assign all groups to that none_base model

Logs & Screenshots

Additional Information

The existing config is still fine and working (checked in PostgreSQL model table), changes or new settings are not possible in full.
