Hi,

A small issue but annoying for our users: since the new update showing some models in the workspace as read only, they cannot pin models here anymore.

I know you can still pin them from the model selector but it is more intuitive to do it from the workspace tab.

Additionally they cannot clone models anymore, which I think is still useful even if they cannot edit or delete models not owned by them.

not being able to clone it is intentional. otherwise you could access the model's settings, system prompt, knowledge, tools and other stuff it has configured.

pinning makes sense though
