Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.22

Ollama Version (if applicable)

v0.11.4

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome 139.0.7258.127/128

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

USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_CONTROLS when set to false is to hide/disable the viewing of system prompt and other chat controls.

Actual Behavior

USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_CONTROLS is set to False, but Standard User is still able to open settings and change system prompt.

I have forgot to mention, This only happens if a user signs up through the sign up screen, waits in pending status, then gets approved. After that the user able to access system prompt. But if the admin directly adds the user through the admin panel such result does not happen and the user is unable to access system prompt.
