Feature Request

It is already possible to enable user information forwarding when doing a chat completion with ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS.

b72150c881/backend/open_webui/routers/openai.py (L209)

                        {
                            "X-OpenWebUI-User-Name": user.name,
                            "X-OpenWebUI-User-Id": user.id,
                            "X-OpenWebUI-User-Email": user.email,
                            "X-OpenWebUI-User-Role": user.role,
                        }
                        if ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS
                        else {}

But when an external openai compatible engine is used for RAG the information headers are not added to the embeddings method.

Note:

I think this should be done in generate_openai_batch_embeddings function:
