Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently there is the only the ability to set openai api keys on the backend and not a per user basis.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add the ability for users to set their own unique openai API key so that we can enable users to track their own individual API usage vs having to worry about it on the backend. We will have over 1000 users and would like to not have to use the same key for all of them.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context

Having the ability to have a user set their own API key in the account settings panel would the most preferred route. with a small popup when the log in for the first time asking for the api key would be a nice to have.
