[Feature]: Use management keys to dynamically assign budgets to end users (customers)

[thetonus]

The Feature

Instead of using the proxy admin key to create new customers and assign/update budgets to them, it would be nice to use a more scoped key (like a management key).

Motivation, pitch

I am using Litellm and OpenWebUI together for an internal product. And I want the ability to dynamically create new end users and assign them to a base budget tier. I can do that with the proxy admin key. However, I do not want the openwebui instance to have the proxy admin key. That seems like a major over-scoping issue. Preferably, I'd create a "management user" and a "management key" that handles this.

LiteLLM is hiring a founding backend engineer, are you interested in joining us and shipping to all our users?

In our deployment, we solve this at the database layer: You can set a default value for the budget_id column in the end user table, so when a new end user is created, the default budget is used.
