Are there some docs about this endpoint? I have searched API docs but it is not there.

I am looking for a way how to create topic and assign it to a specific user (by discourse-assign plugin).

And also thinking if API key have to by for user system or I can use some other user with minimal permissions (what are that minimal required?).
