Context and Problem Statement#

The front-token can be removed in the case of a header based auth, since the information can be parsed from the access token as well

Considered Options#

  • Leave as is
  • Remove

Decision Outcome#

Keep, because this way we don't have to handle parsing on the FE and people can just ignore it safely if they prefer.
