Expected Behavior

I tried even by providing the group the user is part of with all access including workspace and chat and feature, but still no luck.

Steps to Reproduce

  • create a tool
  • enable the tool for a model
  • as a admin user choose the model and ask a question (it should give correct response)
  • change the user as normal user and try again the same question in new session
  • the response would be different and without calling the tool
