# Active services

{% hint style="warning" %}
This feature is only enabled on certain environments and tenants. Please contact [Support](/support/faq.md) for more information about this feature.
{% endhint %}

With the Active services functionality enabled Spark enables different statuses to be assigned to services to control whether they can be used and their visibility to other users. If Active services are enabled on your tenant, Spark services can be managed with 3 different statuses:

* `Active`: This service can be used and connected with API integrations. An active service is denoted with a green dot 🟢.
* `Inactive`: This service cannot be used and integrations are disabled.
  * They also be hidden from certain dialog
  * Inactive services are also from the Spark dashboard views.
* `Archived`: Similar to inactive, yet furthermore only `tenant-admin`s can view and manage these services.

By default, newly uploaded Spark services are set as `Active`.

## Deactivate or archive a service

{% hint style="info" %}
The ability to deactivate or archive services is limited to `tenant-admin`s by default. However this can be modified through configuration by Coherent to enable for all users.
{% endhint %}

1. Identify an active service either from within a folder or the [Options](/navigation/options.md#service-console). You may need to adjust the filtering to make `Inactive` or `Archived` services visible.
2. Click on the "three-dot menu" and click on *Deactivate service* or *Archive service.*
3. When navigating through the different pages for an `Inactive` or `Archived` service, it will indicate that many of the standard functionalities have been disabled.

## Activate a service

The ability to activate services is limited to `tenant-admin`s only. This will re-enable the ability to use the standard features of a service.

1. Identify an active service either from within a folder or the [Options](/navigation/options.md#service-console).
2. Click on the "three-dot menu" and click on *Activate service.*
3. The service will then again be indicated with a green dot 🟢.
