Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/7755

Installation Method

Installed using Docker

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: v0.4.8
  • Ollama (if applicable): v0.5.1
  • Operating System: macOS Sonoma 14.1
  • Browser (if applicable): Firefox Developer 134.0b8

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:

Models should be visible to non-admin users as per the settings in the Admin Panel.

Actual Behavior:

No models are visible to non-admin users, even though all models are enabled in the Admin Panel settings.

Description

Bug Summary:
Models are visible for admin users but not for regular users. Previously, there was a "whitelist" feature to manage model visibility, but this feature appears to have been removed or is missing. As a result, non-admin users cannot access any models despite them being enabled.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Log in as an admin and navigate to Admin Panel -> Settings -> Models.
  2. Confirm that all models are enabled.
  3. Log in as a non-admin user.
  4. Check for available models in the user interface.

Observed Result: No models are displayed for non-admin users.

Logs and Screenshots

Browser Console Logs:
No apparent errors.

Docker Container Logs:

Screenshots/Screen Recordings (if applicable):
For a regular user, no models found.

Additional Information

It seems the model management feature ("whitelist") has been removed or altered in the current version. This issue started occurring after updating to Open WebUI v0.4.8 and Ollama v0.5.1.

@tdiprima commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2024):

  1. Go to Admin Panel -> Settings -> Models.
  2. Edit each model's visibility to public. (Just because it's green and enabled does NOT mean it's public. You have to edit it and select Public from the dropdown.)
  3. Scroll down and click "Save & Update".

It would be nice if the UI/UX were more intuitive here. And maybe a toggle just like "enabled", so we don't have to go in and edit each model in order for it to be visible to our users.
