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.
