## Frequently asked questions

### Can everything run locally?

A local setup is possible when the chosen models, document processing and hardware support it. We identify external dependencies and test the intended data path.

### Can different users access different knowledge?

Yes, with the appropriate groups and resource grants. We verify the result using regular user accounts and review administrator visibility separately.

### Can it use our branding?

Branding changes depend on Open WebUI's current license and your deployment. We check those requirements before including rebranding in the scope.
