I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

When a prompt is saved in the workspace and the prompt is saved as a private prompt, it remains private and is not available to all users in the chat interface by accessing the stored prompts with the / command.

Actual Behavior

All prompts, even when stored as a private prompt, are available to all users in the chat interface. By writing / all the available prompts get listed and can be accessed by anyone

Steps to Reproduce

As a normal user, go to workspace
Create a new prompt - make sure to select 'private' for the permissions OR have the admin disable the public sharing permission altogether
Save the prompt
Ask another user to enter / into their chat interface and observe the full list of all prompts being shown, even those of other users.
