Summary
The RBAC pages describe access grants for models and knowledge bases. The MCP, Open Terminal, and Evaluations pages each say their resource has access control. No page says what Private with an empty access list means, and the answer differs by resource type. No page says how the Public setting combines with rows in the access list either. This PR adds both.
Changes:
BYPASS_ADMIN_ACCESS_CONTROLexception now names both resource families instead of "model/knowledge/notes resources", and links to the new subsection.BYPASS_ADMIN_ACCESS_CONTROLentry gains a paragraph saying the flag also governs admin-configured resources, and what an empty access list means for them.Related issue or discussion
Two open issues in the main repository cover surfaces that do not yet apply the admin-only rule. The tool server picker case is open-webui/open-webui#30012 and the arena model case is open-webui/open-webui#30013.
Checklist
Notes for reviewers
Every behavior claim was checked against the access control modal and the backend checks on
dev.I verified both lockouts on my own instance with the admin bypass off. The tool server picker case used an OpenAPI connection and an MCP connection, and the arena model case had both bypass flags off.
No screenshots. The change is text only.
