I am trying to create an API key for our ‘system’ user. When I click on Generate from the system user’s admin page, I get no key, and a 404 error appears in the console. There is no entry in the Discourse log.

`https://<site_url>/admin/users/-1/generate_api_key Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)`

I am able to generate API keys for other users.

I am running v1.4.0.beta9.
