Refactored the file processing status streaming endpoint to avoid holding
a database connection for the entire stream duration (up to 2 hours).
Changes:
- Each status poll now creates its own short-lived database session instead
of capturing the request's session in the generator closure
- Increased poll interval from 0.5s to 1s, halving database queries with
negligible UX impact
This prevents a single file status stream from blocking a connection pool
slot for hours, which could contribute to pool exhaustion under load.
* feat: add ENABLE_USER_STATUS toggle for admin-controlled user status visibility
feat: add ENABLE_USER_STATUS toggle for admin-controlled user status visibility
Add a new admin panel toggle (Admin > Settings > General) called "User Status" that allows administrators to globally enable or disable user status functionality.
When disabled:
- User status API endpoints return 403 Forbidden
- Status emoji, message, and "Update your status" button are hidden from the user menu
The setting:
- Defaults to True (enabled)
- Can be overridden via ENABLE_USER_STATUS environment variable
- Persists across restarts using PersistentConfig
Files modified:
- backend/open_webui/config.py - Added ENABLE_USER_STATUS PersistentConfig
- backend/open_webui/main.py - App state init and features dict
- backend/open_webui/routers/auths.py - AdminConfig model and endpoints
- backend/open_webui/routers/users.py - 403 guards on status endpoints
- src/lib/components/admin/Settings/General.svelte - Toggle UI
- src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar/UserMenu.svelte - Conditional status display
