# Run the platform
Create spaces and clubs for new customers, choose their owner, turn modules off and suspend a club.
Source: https://docs.champagne.dev-ukab.fr/en/guide/admins/platform-administration
This page is for the people who run Champagne itself, not for club staff. A platform admin
creates a space for each customer, adds its clubs, chooses its owner and decides which
modules each club uses. The role gives no access to the clubs' members, bookings or
invoices.
## 1. Open the Platform section [#1-open-the-platform-section]
In the left menu, select **Platform**. Each card is a space: its owner, then its clubs with
their timezone and hosted address.
The demo space and its three clubs.
## 2. Create a space for a new customer [#2-create-a-space-for-a-new-customer]
Select **New space**.
1. Enter the **Space name**, usually the customer's company.
2. Enter the **Owner email**.
3. Describe the first club: **Club name**, **Timezone** and, if it takes applications
online, its **Hosted address**.
4. Select **Create space**.
A new space with its first club.
If the email already has a Champagne account, that person becomes owner at once. Anyone else
receives an invitation by email, valid for 7 days. Until they accept, the card shows the
pending invitation and the date it expires; select **Resend invitation** to send a new one,
or **Cancel invitation** to withdraw it.
The owner is admin of every club in the space and invites the rest of the team from the
**Team** section, as described in [Invite your team](/en/guide/admins/invite-your-team).
## 3. Add a club, edit or change the owner [#3-add-a-club-edit-or-change-the-owner]
* **Add club** adds another club to the space. Its owner becomes admin of it.
* **Rename** on a space changes its name. **Edit** on a club's row changes its name,
timezone and hosted address.
* Each space needs its own name, and so does each club within a space. A club name always
starts with an uppercase letter.
* **Change owner** hands the space over to another email. The current owner stays owner
until the new one accepts. **Remove the access of …** is checked by default: the previous
owner then loses access to every club of the space when the new owner takes over. Uncheck
it to keep them as admin, for example a partner who stays in the business.
## 4. Turn modules off for a club [#4-turn-modules-off-for-a-club]
Select **Modules** on a club's row. Every module is on for a new club. Turn off the ones the
customer does not use, then select **Save**.
The modules of Ukab Clubs.
A module turned off disappears from the back office of that club for everyone, club admins
included, and its actions are refused. The button then counts the modules turned off, for
example **Modules (2 off)**.
**Finance** is the only module that also changes the member area. Turn it off for a club that
charges nothing:
* Members no longer see credits, top-ups, plan choice, payment or prices. Paid onboarding
steps are skipped, including in applications already in progress.
* Staff no longer see prices, deposits, paid products or credit settings, and cannot add plan
steps to an onboarding.
* Champagne refuses every new charge for the club: checkout, top-ups, credit spending,
deposits and refunds.
Existing invoices, credit balances and paid memberships are kept as they are. Turning
**Finance** back on shows them again.
## 5. Suspend a club [#5-suspend-a-club]
Turn off the **Active** switch of a club, then confirm with **Suspend club**.
Suspending asks for confirmation.
A suspended club keeps all its data, but its staff and members can no longer sign in to it
and its public pages close: hosted site, online booking, membership applications and offers. Its staff
see that the club is suspended instead of the club, and members see it on the sign-in page.
Turn the switch back on to reactivate it: everything works again at once.
## 6. Archive a club or a space [#6-archive-a-club-or-a-space]
When a customer leaves, or never finished setting up, select **Archive** on the club's row
or on the space, then confirm. An archived club is closed like a suspended one and leaves the
list; archiving a space archives all its clubs. Nothing is deleted.
Turn on **Show archived** at the top of the page to see them again, then select **Restore**.
Restoring a space puts each club back as it was before: an active club reopens, a suspended
club stays suspended and a club archived on its own stays archived. A club of an archived space can only come back with
its space.
## 7. Manage the platform admins [#7-manage-the-platform-admins]
Open the **Platform admins** tab at the top of the Platform section. It lists everyone with
the role.
* To add someone, enter their **Email** and select **Add platform admin**. If they already
have a Champagne account, they get the role at once. Otherwise also enter their **Name**:
they receive an email to choose their password, valid for 7 days.
* To take the role away, select **Remove role** on their row and confirm. Their account and
any club access stay. You cannot remove yourself, so there is always at least one admin.
Tools such as Terraform create and manage clubs with a platform token instead of an
account. Open the **API tokens** tab, select **Create a token**, enter its **Name**, choose
its **Access** and, if you want one, an **Expiration date (optional)**, and select **Create**. Copy the token at
once: it is shown a single time. A platform token manages clubs and reads no club data. To
cut a tool off for a while, open the **⋯** menu on the row of its token and select **Block**;
**Unblock** gives the access back. To cut it off for good, select **Delete** and confirm.
## 8. Check what changed [#8-check-what-changed]
The **History** tab lists every change made from the Platform section, newest first: who
made it, when, on which space, club or admin, and the values before and after. Club staff
never see these entries.
