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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Notes should be possible even the user doesn't have Admin rights.

Actual Behavior

As a normal user I can click on "add note" but the normal chat window appears instead of the note-site... Deleting notes (empty once are created after that behavior) isn't possible too.

Granting Admin rights to the user let him create Notes.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Login as normal user without Admin rights
  2. Try to create a note

Logs & Screenshots

Doesn't have logs for now. Sorry
