This pull request refactors the flow update permissions system to decouple it from OSS mode, making flow updates available based on user roles and permissions rather than run mode. It also introduces a clearer admin-only action prompt in the UI and updates backend endpoints and tests to reflect the new permission model.

Frontend changes:

  • Permissions and UI logic:
    • The ability to update flows is now based on the config:write permission instead of the previous flows:edit and OSS mode check, allowing for more flexible role-based access. (frontend/app/settings/_components/langflow-updates-banner.tsx [1] frontend/components/flows-update-dialog.tsx [2]
    • The update dialog now distinguishes between admins and non-admins, showing a specific message to non-admins that only administrators can perform updates. (frontend/components/flows-update-dialog.tsx frontend/components/flows-update-dialog.tsxL118-R156)
    • The update dialog is now shown to all authenticated or no-auth users, regardless of run mode. (frontend/components/layout-wrapper.tsx frontend/components/layout-wrapper.tsxL190-R190)
    • Refactored imports to use useAuth instead of usePermissions, and added a new alert icon. (frontend/components/flows-update-dialog.tsx [1] [2]

Backend changes:

  • API permission and logic updates:
    • Flow update, bulk update, and dismiss endpoints now require config:write permission instead of flows:edit, and no longer restrict updates to OSS mode—enabling updates in all deployment modes. (src/api/flows.py [1] [2]
    • Removed OSS mode checks from the update and dismiss endpoints, so updates are always available if the user has the correct permission. (src/api/flows.py [1] [2]

Testing:

Walkthrough

Flow update retrieval and dismissal now work across deployment modes. Mutation endpoints use config:write. The frontend supports administrator, onboarding, skip, backup, and no-backup update flows. The update banner now appears in the settings shell.

Changes

Flow update authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
API permissions and validation
src/api/flows.py, tests/unit/api/test_flows_api.py
Update mutations now require config:write. Retrieval and dismissal no longer stop by deployment mode. Unit tests cover retrieval, bulk updates, and dismissal.
Frontend administrator dialog
frontend/components/flows-update-dialog.tsx
The dialog loads updates for all users, derives administrator and onboarding state, and provides separate skip, backup, and no-backup confirmation flows.
Frontend update entrypoints
frontend/app/settings/_components/langflow-updates-banner.tsx, frontend/components/layout-wrapper.tsx
The settings banner uses config:write for editing and shows returned updates. The layout renders the update dialog for authenticated and no-auth users.
Settings and dialog presentation
frontend/app/settings/_components/settings-shell.tsx, frontend/app/settings/[tab]/page.tsx, frontend/app/globals.css
The settings shell renders the banner above navigation. The agent tab no longer renders the banner. IBM dialog close buttons and single-button footers receive updated styling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a3a11

This change expands flow updates across deployment modes and changes the required permission, but authorization behavior is not fully validated and dismissed updates can remain actionable, creating a concrete risk of incorrect access handling or repeated update actions. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Test authorization and deployment modes through the FastAPI route.

These tests call handlers directly. FastAPI does not resolve Depends(require_permission("config:write")) in these calls. The tests pass if the permission changes back to flows:edit or is removed.

Add parameterized HTTP-level tests for each deployment mode. Verify that a user without config:write receives denial, a user with config:write can update, and denied requests do not call bulk_update_flows.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep dismissed updates out of the banner and action targets.

hasUpdates includes records with dismissed: true. After a successful dismissal invalidates the query, the banner remains visible. Opening it with overrideOpen then makes targetUpdates include those dismissed flow types. Users can repeatedly see, dismiss, or update flows that they already skipped.

Do not dismiss updates from the non-administrator branch.

When isAdmin is false, this user lacks config:write in an RBAC-enforced deployment. The Understand button invokes handleDismiss, but the dismissal endpoint requires that permission. The request fails, the error only reaches the console, and the notification returns after remount.

Use a local close handler for this acknowledgement flow.

With RBAC enabled, developers have flows:edit but not config:write, while both Restore flow buttons remain guarded by flows:edit. Changing this endpoint therefore makes those authorized reset requests return 403; keep reset authorization on flows:edit or update all callers and role policy consistently.
