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

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.8.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

macOS Tahoe

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

Whenever an admin user’s group membership is updated on the OAuth side, the change should also be reflected in Open-WebUI.

Actual Behavior

Whenever an admin user’s group membership is updated on the OAuth side, the change is not Open-WebUI side. This is due to this conditional in the code:

if (
    auth_manager_config.ENABLE_OAUTH_GROUP_MANAGEMENT
    and user.role != "admin"
):
    self.update_user_groups(
        user=user,
        user_data=user_data,
        default_permissions=request.app.state.config.USER_PERMISSIONS,
        db=db,
    )

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Docker v24.0.5 and start the service.
  2. Clone the Open WebUI repo (git clone ...).
  3. Follow instructions in https://docs.openwebui.com/features/access-security/auth/sso/ to setup SSO with selected OAuth provider. Remember to set ENABLE_OAUTH_GROUP_MANAGEMENT to true.
  4. Use the Docker Compose file to run the container.
  5. Open the browser and go to http://localhost:3000/
  6. Login with SSO. As the first logged in user you should get an Admin role.
  7. Go to your OAuth provider platform, create a group and add the user to that group.
  8. Log out from Open-WebUI and log in again with SSO.
  9. Go to http://localhost:3000/admin/users/groups. The new group is not there.
