Transition from basic auth to API keys

Radu Stănciulescu
Hello Team,
Right now the Huntress API uses basic auth for authentication which forces us, your customers, to create a myriad of accounts for each case (we have to create multiple accounts and grant them privileges depending on the use case since scoping is done at the user account level) which is cumbersome.
Changing to real API keys would solve this problem as it will allow as to setup scoping on the API key at creation time. A user with permissions to create API keys would be able to select the scopes at creation time thus removing the requirement of creating a new user for each use case.
