Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.8.0

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.13.5

Operating System

Debian12

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

I have an existing knowledge base.
After update to v0.8.0 and after having been granted 'Knowledge Sharing' but NOT 'Knowledge Public Sharing' I cannot publicly share new and existing knowledge bases.

Actual Behavior

I have an existing knowledge base.
After update to v0.8.0 and after having been granted 'Knowledge Sharing' but NOT 'Knowledge Public Sharing' I can publicly share existing knowledge bases (but not newly created ones).

Steps to Reproduce

Start OWUI using latest version, see my compose file

compose.yaml.txt

as admin alllow 'Knowledge Sharing' but NOT 'Knowledge Public Sharing'
switch to existing user with existing knowledge base and click on access. You can now select public which should not be allowed
