Each model provider-project pair requires a unique connection.
When you select a project for allowing a model, and you do not have any models from the same provider already allowed for that project, you must create a new connection.
To create a new connection:
EITHER:
In the Allow Model Usage pane, enter a unique Connection name.
Select a secret from the API Key as Secret Name dropdown list or Create a New Secret.
Click Create connection. The "Connection created successfully" notification is displayed.
OR:
In the Administration module menu bar, select AI/ML Settings > Connections.
Click Create new connection.
Enter a unique Connection name, the project and the model provider for the connection.
Select a secret for the connection from the API Key as Secret Name dropdown list or Create a New Secret.
Click Save.
