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.

Open WebUI Version

Ollama Version (if applicable)

Operating System

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
Users should be able to open public notes by clicking a direct share link. The endpoint should successfully check if a note is public and grant appropriate access.
Actual Behavior
When a user tries to open a public note via direct link, the server returns a 500 Internal Server Error:
File "/app/backend/open_webui/routers/notes.py", line 239, in get_note_by_id
or has_public_read_access_grant(note.access_grants)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NameError: name 'has_public_read_access_grant' is not defined
Users are redirected to the main page after the error.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a new public note (as admin user)
Copy the direct share link
Open the link as a different user (non-admin)
Observe 500 error in server logs and redirect to home page

### Additional Information
### Root Cause
`has_public_read_access_grant` is used at **line 239** but not imported:
```python
# Line 239 - used but not imported
or has_public_read_access_grant(note.access_grants)
```
Current imports at **lines 29-31**:
```python
from open_webui.utils.access_control import has_permission, filter_allowed_access_grants
from open_webui.models.access_grants import AccessGrants
```
**Missing**: `has_public_read_access_grant` import
