  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

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

The expected behavior is that the Default User permission view in the webapp aligns with the environment variables passed in the values.yaml file. The permissions are however disabled for the corresponding users in the back-end, so it's just the front-end view.

Actual Behavior

The values in the Edit Default Permissions view stay constant, regardless of the corresponding environment variable value.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a minikube installation present on Ubuntu 24.04
  2. Install open-webui chart version 8.9.0
  3. Set the extraEnvVars in the values.yaml file with for example (persistent config is false):
    - name: ENABLE_PERSISTENT_CONFIG
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_CONTROLS
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_VALVES
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_SYSTEM_PROMPT
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_PARAMS
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_STT
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_TTS
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_CALL
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_MULTIPLE_MODELS
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_WEB_SEARCH
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_IMAGE_GENERATION
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_CODE_INTERPRETER
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_EXPORT
      value: "False"
    - name: USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_NOTES
      value: "False"
  1. Upgrade the helm chart
  2. See Default permissions (applies to all users with the "user role" view and see that the boxes have not been updated

Logs & Screenshots

In the image, the values can be seen enabled, even though they're disabled in the back-end (tested with a regular user as well).

Apologies, I checked the open issues as I assumed this wasn't fixed yet and didn't see it happening there. Thanks for the quick reply!
