📄️ Introduction
This documentation only applies to SPACE versions 0.3.0 and earlier.
📄️ 🚀 Run a SPACE Instance
This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and run your own instance of SPACE. You can choose to run it using Docker for a quick setup or set it up for development purposes.
📄️ 🔑 Retrieve API Key
To interact with SPACE —whether through its API or via its SDKs— you need an apiKey tied to a user account.
📄️ ➕ Create User
Remember, in SPACE, users are not end-users of your SaaS application.
📄️ ➕ Create a Service
To create a new service in SPACE, follow these steps:
📄️ ➕ Create a Contract
In SPACE, contracts represent the legal and technical agreements between the SaaS provider (who manages SPACE) and the end users of the SaaS application.
📄️ ➕ Create a Pricing Version
One of SPACE's most powerful features is its ability to act as a Pricing Version Control System (PVCS).
📄️ 🔄 Manage Users
The Users Management view in SPACE allows administrators and managers to control access by updating roles and credentials of existing accounts.
📄️ 🔄 Manage Pricings Availability
Pricings in SPACE can transition between different availability states depending on their lifecycle. This allows providers to evolve their pricing while maintaining traceability of past versions.
📄️ 🔄 Manage Contract Novations
In SPACE, a novation represents a change in an existing contract’s terms without creating a new contract from scratch (refer to What is SPACE? for more information).
📄️ 🗑️ Disable Services
Disabling a service in SPACE is a terminal operation that should only be performed when the service is no longer intended to operate.
📄️ 🗑️ Delete Users
As mentioned in the Manage Users guide, deleting a user is one of the operations available from the Users Management view in SPACE.
📄️ 🗑️ Delete Contract
Contracts in SPACE represent the agreements between your SaaS and its end users.
