# Introduction

> Overview of the Zylon Backoffice.

The Zylon Backoffice is the centralized administration environment for managing the Zylon platform. It is separated from Workspace and is used for Platform administration and API development operations.

Backoffice capabilities include:

* Account management
* Role and permission management
* Gateway management
* API token management
* Platform service status monitoring

Backoffice access requires a valid account with the appropriate role:

* **Operator** role for platform administration
* **Developer** role for API token workflows

Users can hold multiple roles on the same account. Features are made available based on the roles assigned to that account.
