How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

There's a problem when I enable the multi - user mode of AnythingLLM. When I create a new workspace, there's a default user with administrator privileges. But if I go to user management and click the Unselect button to remove this user from the workspace, all users in this workspace can't use the Qury mode for conversations afterwards. Also, I can't activate the administrator account mentioned earlier.

There's a problem when I enable the multi - user mode of AnythingLLM. When I create a new workspace, there's a default user with administrator privileges.

When you change to multi-user, you need to create an account username/password and this is new admin. It should also be who you are logging in with after starting mutli-user mode. The default user is the one you just created, we dont make any additional users.

But if I go to user management and click the Unselect button to remove this user from the workspace,

Who are you logged in as in this aspect? Since you should be that "default" user you just created.

all users in this workspace can't use the Qury mode for conversations afterwards.

The second screenshot you are showing shows the default query mode response when no documents are found for a given prompt.

Also, I can't activate the administrator account mentioned earlier.

Again, this is the account you just created when you enabled multi-user mode, correct? Should be the same username password you just set.
