Actual Behavior
My expectation is to be able to go to the workspace prompt stuff and be able to edit that but when I load it it says I don't have the permissions to change it even though I'm an admin and I'm the only person with an account on the server which makes me a super admin; But this just doesn't work, I can't edit prompts and every attempt just gives me this page that says I don't have permissions and that makes absolutely no sense I get 100% repo on this every single time; This software simply doesn't work.
Steps to Reproduce
Per the above it's a 100 percent reproduction every time and I've given you my docker command so you should be able to reproduce that very simply
Logs & Screenshots
I have no idea why it says it's read only and I'm not allowed to edit it when I am the admin. The code doesn't make this clear either So when I checked that view I don't see anything about permissions; I get no errors in the console when I inspect either
Additional Information
This makes install of the application impossible

None of those issues look like my issue I can't even get anything installed it just won't work and I'm using docker which is making that more frustrating Because it should just work and it doesn't
@duaneking commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
I just want to get agents working locally; I don't care how I get it working, and I don't care what software I use, the docker install doesn't even let me do anything, I can't do anything without the ability to change prompts and if I can't change prompts then this software is useless.
@duaneking commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
This is dumb
Why are you disabling all these features for production images? Looking at the code for this it looks like somebody's just sabotaged this project.
@tjbck commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
Thanks for flagging. Addressed in dev.
@0x7466 commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
I have the same issue.

I can confirm this issue has been resolved on the
devbranch with https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ab99d3b1129cffbc13cf7de5aa897692e3f8662e.@0x7466 commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
@silentoplayz Thanks for the quick fix! Is there a way to fix this in a Docker production environment without having to switch to the dev branch?
@Classic298 commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2026):
Looks like frontend files were changed. So, no.
.2 should be out soon
