Changelog Entry

Description

Adds a new environment variable ENABLE_ADMIN_CHAT_ACCESS that controls whether or not admins are allowed by the backend to read other users' chats. Related: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/1581.
Note, per the discussion, this only stops users that are admins on a Open WebUI instance from reading chats, but anyone with access to the underlying database will still be able to extract the contents of chats.

Added

ENABLE_ADMIN_CHAT_ACCESS environment variable to control if admins are able to access other users chats.
