I see that it is old topic, but i couldn’t find new one, so i will just ask here.

I know that you guys introduced multiple API keys, and they can be added from discourse UI for specific user.  
The question is, is it possible to generate api\_key for specific user on its creation, or any time after, but not from the UI.  
I want to give api\_key to user with the API, with main api\_key.

Thanks!
