Hello everyone, happy halloween and happy holidays.

Is there a way to create an apikey for each user created as an admin, there is [User API keys specification](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-api-keys-specification/48536) which needs user approval , is there a way to create per user apikey programmatically by using admin apikey ?

Thanks in advance.
