### 🧑💻 User Tool Servers vs. 🛠️ Global Tool Servers
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to register tool servers in Open WebUI:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. User Tool Servers (added via regular Settings)
|
||||
|
||||
- Only accessible to the user who registered the tool server.
|
||||
- The connection is made directly from the backend (server-side) on behalf of that user.
|
||||
- Perfect for personal workflows or when testing custom/local tools.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Global Tool Servers (added via Admin Settings)
|
||||
|
||||
Admins can manage shared tool servers available to all or selected users across the entire deployment:
|
||||
|
||||
- Go to 🛠️ **Admin Settings > Tools**.
|
||||
- Add the tool server URL just as you would in user settings.
|
||||
- These tools are treated similarly to Open WebUI’s built-in tools.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ Important:
|
||||
|
||||
- By default, global tool servers are not activated — each one must be toggled ON explicitly before becoming available.
|
||||
- Once enabled, global tool servers are accessible by all users (or can be limited based on role-based access features).
|
||||
|
||||
This is ideal for team setups or shared environments, where commonly-used tools (e.g. document search, memory, or web lookup) should be centrally accessible by multiple users.
