Is your proposal related to a problem?

I would like to use RBAC, but I have no of supported authentication method for RBAC.

Describe the feature you're interested in

I would like that Kafka-UI trust a HTTP header containing the username and the role (ou list of role) of a user accessing it. This suppose that Kafaka-ui is behing a proxy (like nginx, apache or haproxy) doing the job of authenticating and filing http headers (also blocking access when the user is not authenticated).

As exemple, there is this way of authentication in Grafana, or Apache Guacamole project (click to access documentation online of the feature) .

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Version you're running

56fa824 v0.7.1

Additional context
