📄 Description

This PR will add Permissions documentation (without the "Public Model Sharing" piece, so we can decouple that from the other pull I had @tjbck) & WEBUI_SECRET_KEY info for multiple-node deployments. Both of these issues have come up multiple times in owui discussions & on reddit where users were confused due to lack of documentation around permissions and the importance of the WEBUI_SECRET_KEY value when running multiple nodes, so I thought it would be beneficial to get this out there.
