Introduces SHOW_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT_ADMIN_ONLY environment variable that, when enabled, restricts the active user count display to admin users only. This change provides: - Privacy: Non-admin users cannot see how many users are active - Performance: Reduces backend load by preventing API requests from non-admin users when the feature is enabled - Scalability: Significantly reduces /api/usage endpoint calls in deployments with hundreds of concurrent users Changes: - Backend: Add SHOW_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT_ADMIN_ONLY env variable in env.py - Backend: Expose config setting via /api/config endpoint - Frontend: Check user role and config before displaying active user count - Frontend: Prevent API calls to /api/usage when user is not authorized Default behavior: Feature is disabled (false) to maintain backward compatibility. All users can see active user count unless explicitly restricted by setting SHOW_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT_ADMIN_ONLY=true. Resolves open-webui#13026
Rename environment variable from SHOW_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT_ADMIN_ONLY to ENABLE_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT_ADMIN_ONLY to follow the established naming convention used throughout the codebase where feature flags start with ENABLE_. Changes: - Backend: Renamed env variable in env.py - Backend: Updated import and API response key in main.py - Frontend: Updated config key reference in UserMenu.svelte The functionality remains the same - when set to true, only admin users can see the active user count display.
Rename environment variable to ENABLE_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT and reverse the logic for better clarity and consistency with codebase naming conventions. Changes: - Variable: ENABLE_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT (default: "True") - When True (default): Everyone can see active user count (current behavior) - When False: Only admins can see active user count - Updated frontend logic to match reversed semantics This naming better follows the ENABLE_* pattern used throughout the codebase and makes the purpose more intuitive: "enable public visibility" is clearer than "enable admin-only restriction".
Add proper authorization check in the /api/usage endpoint to enforce access control when ENABLE_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT is disabled. Previously, the restriction was only enforced on the frontend, allowing users to bypass it by directly calling the API endpoint. Now: - When ENABLE_PUBLIC_ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT=false, only admins can access - Returns 403 Forbidden for non-admin users when restricted - Properly re-raises HTTPException to preserve status codes This completes the security implementation and ensures the performance benefits are fully realized by preventing unauthorized API access at the backend level.
