Hi,

I have configured opeb webui with sso+microsoft but have found some weird issues:

1 I logged in with sso to open webui page, and I become admin user by default since it is the first user, then I changed "default user role" from "pending" to "user". Then I logged out and logged in again, then I become normal user, not admin any more. "signup" is set as "enabled".

2 I tried to hard code the default user role as "user" by adding extra variable in the values file

extraEnvVars:

  • name: DEFAULT_USER_ROLE
    value: "user"

but still after login, it still shows "pending"

Any input?

Hi @gc-appear, one thing to note is that the DEFAULT_USER_ROLE variable is a persistent config, meaning that what it's set to the first time you start Open WebUI is what it will remain set to. You can see that in the docs here: https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/env-configuration/#default_user_role

With that said, I would expect that making that change in the UI would have the intended effect. This may be an issue in Open WebUI itself rather than the Helm charts.

I would encourage you to look through existing Issues and Discussions on the Open WebUI repo. I will also ask the other contributors if anyone has ideas on this, as I do not have SSO configured on my instance. We can keep this issue open until we confirm.
