API Management — Secure Access via API Keys

[mjabascal10]

Describe the feature

Implement an API Management system that enables secure and controlled access to UTMStack’s public and internal APIs through the use of API keys.
This feature will allow users, services, and integrations to authenticate without requiring standard user credentials, improving automation, scalability, and integration security.

Use Case

Provide a centralized and secure mechanism to generate, manage, and validate API keys for external and internal API consumers.

Proposed Solution

Feature Overview
• Introduce an API Management module or section in the platform settings.
• Allow authorized users or administrators to:

•	Generate API keys for external integrations and automation scripts.
•	Set expiration dates or usage limits per key.
•	Revoke or regenerate keys at any time.
•	Extend the backend authentication layer to validate API keys for all REST and service endpoints.
