Feature Description

It would be great if we have the option to disable SSH key adding by users, for when keys are entirely externally managed by an admin. Seems like removing the front end button is easy enough using a template, but from my understanding, to be secure we will also need to disable the API endpoint. I don't think such a feature exists right now.

In my mind, an implementation could be to

Add an SSH configuration option to "allow non-admin users to add SSH keys" (default to true).
Make the front end check for this setting and set the "Add SSH Key" button to disabled.
Make the api endpoint check this setting.

Would this be a good idea? Or is there a configuration to achieve this already? If this will be a good contribution, I plan to make a PR of it.

Issue #13983 seems relevant, but it only deals with deleting keys.

(I have asked this on Discord and was advised to make a proposal here)
