### UI for executing Pausable admin functions is located at <https://permissionless-safe.gearbox.foundation/emergency/>


Pausable admin can pause active **Pools** and **Credit Managers.**

Unpausable admin can unpause paused **Pools** and **Credit Managers.**

>
Pausable admin is a sensitive role, but its permissions are softer that unpausable admin.\
\
You can set **pausable admin** to be **EOA** to be able to react quickly, but **unpausable admin should be a multisig**.

## Multipause

Multipause is a helper contract that allows pausing multiple Market contracts in one transaction.

>
For multipause contract to function, you need to add a Multipause contract and at least one Pausable admin to the list.
