Error message

Model not in allowed user models. User allowed models={user_api_key_dict.models}. User id={user_api_key_dict.user_id}

What it means

Model allowlist check for standalone team creation: every requested model must be in the caller's allowed models; requesting a model outside user_api_key_dict.models is refused with 400 naming the user's allowed set and id.
