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

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.43

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

macOS 26.2

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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

  • I click new chat, there is a new chat
  • I click a model from pinned sidebar model list, there is a new chat with that model

Actual Behavior

  • I click new chat, nothing happens
  • I click a pinned model, nothing happens, and I still have to choose from the model list in the chat window

But this only happens to no admin users, while admin users have correct behaviors.

This only happens after I updated from 0.6.41 to 0.6.43, before this, there is no such bugs.

Steps to Reproduce

docker install the version of 0.6.43
create a non admin user
chat to models

Logs & Screenshots

access controls - access permissions? did you verify the user has access to the models? did you delete browser cache? I cannot reproduce. Would need better steps to reproduce here.

It happens both on Chrome and Safari. And I did have access to those models pinned, as I am able to choose from the model list in the chat window. Browser cache, sure have cleared. I just happens, after the update.

@Classic298 @silentoplayz I found the problem, and you can verify.

If you use your admin account to disable a common user's temporary chat ability, then this user will have problem to start a new chat, as well as using the pinned models.
