Problem Description
We cannot view or administrate models added via the direct connections settings page (User>Settings>Connections>Manage Direct Connections). The models settings page (Admin Settings>Models) only shows and allows you to configure/administrate models added via the admin settings page (Admin Settings>Connections>Manage OpenAI API Connections).
Desired Solution you'd like
Since the model settings page (Admin Settings>Models) has functionality that allows admin to reorder all models including those added via direct connection (user added) it would be nice to extend that functionality to also allow admins to view and edit/configure models added via direct connections.

Intended behaviour here, direct connections are treated as ephemeral connections and won't have the same features set as system level connections.
