:::info **Important Note on User Roles and Privacy**
- **Admin Creation:** The very first account to sign up on Open WebUI will be granted **Administrator privileges**. This account will have comprehensive control over the platform, including user management and system settings.

Our system is designed to be privacy-first, ensuring that no external requests are made, and your data does not leave your local environment. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security, ensuring that your information remains confidential and under your control.
