Going to `/tags` will show you tags & Tag groups with restricted access by permission/user groups

This was previously fixed according to an older post [Tags that are supposed to be only visible to staff are shown on /tags for everyone - Contribute / Bug - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-that-are-supposed-to-be-only-visible-to-staff-are-shown-on-tags-for-everyone/116165/8)

Occurs when this setting is checked to true:

Hmm I can’t repro locally or on Meta, are you sure the tag group’s visibility is hidden?

From the tag group settings:

Yes, I am sure. It is visible to TL 2, the account tested is TL 1. Also tried with a different group combo e.g. Custom group. No, the testing account isn’t staff, moderator, or admin.

Seems to also be that the setting isn’t always visible as set. Maybe I will try rebuilding, and see if that resolves it. The whole install seems to be behaving oddly.

A Quick follow up. After I did a rebuild, all is well, and the tag groups are only visible to those who have access to them.
