📄 Description

Changelog Entry

Description

Fixed an issue where admin users were getting "You do not have permission to access this resource" error when trying to use memories, while regular users with proper group permissions could access the feature normally.

Fixed

Admin users can now access memories without needing explicit group permissions, following the same pattern used in other routers (models.py, skills.py).

Issue

Fixes #22730

Description

The memories router was checking permissions using has_permission(), but unlike other routers (models, skills, files), it didn't bypass the permission check for admin users. This caused admin users to get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access memories.

Root Cause

The has_permission() function only checks group permissions and falls back to default permissions. It doesn't have any special handling for admin users. When an admin user doesn't belong to any group with the features.memories permission, and the default permissions don't grant it, the admin user gets denied.

Fix

Changed the permission check from:

if not has_permission(user.id, "features.memories", ...):

To:

if user.role != "admin" and not has_permission(user.id, "features.memories", ...):

This follows the pattern used in backend/open_webui/routers/models.py and other routers, where admin users bypass permission checks.

Testing

Verified Python syntax compiles correctly
The fix is minimal and follows existing code patterns
