Hello NVIDIA Support Team,

I am a solo developer trying to use NVIDIA NIM for personal, non-commercial projects. I am currently getting a `403 Forbidden` error (“Authorization failed”) when calling the `chat/completions` endpoint. However, the `GET /v1/models` endpoint works fine.

Based on community discussions, it seems my personal organization is missing the **“Public API Endpoints”** permission. I am unable to enable this myself, as the option is not available when generating a key on `build.nvidia.com`.

Could you please manually verify my account and enable the “Public API Endpoints” permission for my personal organization?

**Account Details:**

- **Registered Email** : [ttonchik1@gmail.com](mailto:ttonchik1@gmail.com)

- **Organization Name** : Personal

- **API Key Prefix** : nvapi-9kQaq

This request is for personal development and testing purposes only. I will strictly follow the NVIDIA API terms of use and rate limits.

Thank you.
