# Platform breakout (Backoffice Split)

The backoffice admin panel has been split into its own standalone project with Auth0-based login and user creation, plus the ability to switch between subscriptions directly within it.

**This includes:**

* Auth0-based login for the backoffice
* Auth0-based user creation
* Decouples backoffice users from the main platform
* Ability to switch between subscriptions directly within the backoffice

**How it benefits the Merchant**

Simplifies user management and account administration for merchants managing multiple subscriptions, reducing time spent switching contexts.

Improves platform stability and scalability by isolating admin operations from the live storefront, reducing the risk that backoffice load or issues affect customer-facing performance.

**Potential FAQs**

Q: Will my existing backoffice users need to be recreated?

A: Check with your account manager for details on user migration to Auth0.

Q: Can I switch between subscriptions without logging out?

A: Yes — the backoffice now supports switching between subscriptions directly within the interface.
