I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
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
It seems that the current model access control only allows settings for public or private.
Desired Solution you'd like
It would be very useful to have the option to define access scope by group (or individual user).
Alternatives Considered
For example, advanced model features could be shared only with users who require them, through group-based settings.
We kindly ask for your positive consideration of this enhancement.
