## How it helps

Run admin tools while the user keeps working on their own desktop, undisturbed.

## What it does

Status: **Beta** · For technicians · Sessions: Access · Computers: Windows · Plan: Included in Blink Core and Blink Pro

Backstage opens a separate hidden desktop on a Windows Access device, with its own taskbar and Start menu and eight admin tools pinned. Programs started there run alongside the user’s desktop, so the technician works while the user carries on. Some programs may not draw or respond reliably there. Runs as the signed-in user; full control is a separate permission.
