Problem Description

I have started work on a terraform provider for open web ui. I'm not sure if this is possible but having the ability for lock down the api to Admin only API keys would be great. Or the abilty to target endpoints to roles. like..

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_ADMIN

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_USER

If this exists or is already possible I haven't seen it documented

Desired Solution you'd like

Ability to lock the API down to Admin Keys only

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_ADMIN

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_USER

Alternatives Considered

Ability to define API endpoints by user Role

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_ADMIN

API_KEY_ALLOWED_ENDPOINTS_USER

Additional Context

No response

@tjbck can you tell me more about why you chose to close this issue ?

I would like to create technical api keys in admin the pannel. My purpose is to purge data automaticly via api.
I don't want my users to use api keys.

Do you think it is a good idea ?

users can always use the API anyways (and only the user endpoints / endpoints they have access to)

for purging data / pruning data (you mean #16520 ? or what do you mean?)

@Classic298 If ApiKey is disabled in admin pannel, no one can use the key.

I understand. I think a setting via env var and perhaps also a toggle in the admin panel can easily be implemented, do you want to create a PR for this?

It would be great if ENABLE_API_KEY could be set via group permissions

It would be great if ENABLE_API_KEY could be set via group permissions, which would make things easier for everyone.
