I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
For customer providers, some model has different parameters to control thinking model,(like qwen: {"enable_thinking": true}, seed: {"thinking": {"type": "enable"}}). Only administrator can edit/add advanced parameter on model setting panel and chat panel, normal user can't see/edit the advanced parameters added by administrator
Desired Solution you'd like
Add a new permission to allow users add/edit advanced parameters

Normal users can edit advanced parameters too in settings or chat control panel

Yes, you're right, they can edit the advanced parameters, but some parameter not in the setting panel, and normal user can't add advanced parameters, for example "thinking", a parameter can control some model's thinking mode. How could they edit this?

I am Pretty sure thinking is also there.
If it's indeed not there, you can build a simple filter for it:

I think current thinking paramerter only work for ollama model, not working on such Chinese model like qwen, seed, kimi, etc. I've checked the document, filter maybe can work for me, I'll try it later, thanks for your reply😊
Perhaps it would be better to add a permission control allowing users to add advanced parameters? After all, it's easier than writing a filter.

@Dragon-GCS you can always add custom parameters at the end for provider specific thinking parameters

But there isn't a buttom to add parameters for normal user, or do I find the wrong place?

Aha interesting Users don't have access to that. Well then a filter it would be
