All models are private by default, PLEASE check for prior discussions and docs.

Same here. I first tried using a second user today, and could not find any option in the UI to make the models public.

I didn't expect them to be private by default.
After an hour trying I searched for bugs and found this issue.

I'd consider a usability bug. I tried navigating around all admin settings and I still don't know how to fix this.

Thanks It worked

I want to share model for all account but don't want to allow 'admin permission'

Thanks! That does work. I would not have found that alone.

Is not that I'm new to UI's... I'm a frontend engineer. I ran hundreds of small apps I wrote from scratch. I have a home lab with a k8s cluster. So I'm pretty much a do-it-yourself person.

Having that said, after trying out the UI at home, I decided to make a new user for my partner. To my surprise, she could not see any models, or add new ones. I could not find how to enable all models by default for everyone. I read the docs and found no mention of private by default.

I stand by what I said: this is a bad usability bug.

Unless there's a flag to change the default, I have to enable models 1 by 1, for dozens of them.

@Classic298 Thanks!

First, let me say this project is fantastic, and a massive thank you all for maintaining such free self-hostable interface 💚.

Now, I don't want to be too pedantic, but I insist it's a usability issue.

You see...

  • I need to know new users don't have model access by default, by creating a new user and trying it out.
  • When I see no models available for this user, I need to know every model is private, but can be marked as public in admin settings.
  • And finally, I need to unwrap the meaning of "Bypasses model access control" from the environment variable, if I ever come across that section.

Without prior knowledge of these points, it's quite difficult to find this option.

Maybe it's as simple as expanding a bit on the docs, to mention the words "public" and "private" in this environment variable section.

Maybe it would have helped to mention the way this works in any section where we connect model API's.

Or even better: can we have an UI toggle that can flip this option on/off, in the models section of admin settings? That is by far the easiest place to explain what it does (via tooltip), and help with usability.

Thanks again and have a nice day!

Hi @darlanalves

Feel free to contribute to the docs as many people do.
I have done so a few times.
If you think this is something that can be improved, create a PR and add it to an existing page or create a new subpage where it would be fitting, in the docs.
