### Expected Behavior

add a user role user so it displays public models in workspace..

Works and displays up in chat...
But not in workspace, change user role to admin and it shows..
### Steps to Reproduce
I try to add a model in workspace and it cant because that model is already there (the shared ones)
it works in chat yet is not visible in workspace

Its a little odd.
You have to change the workspace/models visibility.
default is public 'Accessible to all users'
yet this is only for admin users.
So change to private and add a group to grant access.
BUT READ only also dosnt work... only WRITE works... which isnt ok...

Blocking a user prevents them from interacting with repositories, such as opening or commenting on pull requests or issues. Learn more about blocking a user.
