Open WebUI Version

  • 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

There's no way to set enable_direct_tools so that non-admin users can add their own tool servers.

Right now it looks like only the admin users are able to setup tool servers.

Actual Behavior

Admin should be able to permit users to setup their own tool servers.

Steps to Reproduce

Log in as non-admin user
Go to Settings
Notice there is no "tools" section to configure tool servers

Logs & Screenshots

I need #12217 too. Probably an option to disable users from being able to set tool servers, only to use the ones set by an Admin
