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

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.33

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 10

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

Using the interface's dialog channels, the administrator posts a file. Files sent by a user with administrator access level cannot be opened by a user with user access level. The user receives a "No content" message.

Actual Behavior

If a user with user rights sends a file to a dialogue channel between interface users, the file is available for viewing.

Steps to Reproduce

The administrator creates a channel
Full access to the channel is granted
The administrator sends a file to the channel chat
Members attempt to interact with the file if necessary
When attempting to open the file, I receive a "No content" error
