How your documentation is structured
- Most information stored within Hudu would be organized into what we call a “space”. Spaces, by default, are called companies within Hudu; but can be changed/updated to reflect your business's needs.
- Changing how you structure your documentation is purely cosmetic.
- Hudu provides the options to structure your documentation by any structure name you prefer.

Managing Core Tools
Admins can turn any core tool on or off for the entire instance from Admin General Settings. This is useful if your team doesn't use a particular tool and wants to remove it from navigation, search, extensions, and the API entirely, rather than just restricting it by group.
To turn a core tool on or off:
- Go to Admin General Settings.
- Expand the Core Tools section.
- Use the switch next to a tool to turn it on or off.
Switches save automatically as soon as you toggle them — there's no separate save button.
The following tools can be toggled from this section:
Turns off company password access across the application, including the API and MCP tooling.
Turns off personal password vault access for all users.
Turns off access to the central (global) knowledge base.
Turns off access to company-level knowledge base articles.
Turns off processes and their runs across the application.
Turns off asset access across the application.
Turns off rack storage access across the application.
Turns off website record access across the application.
Turns off IP address management access across the application.
Turns off the expirations tool across the application.
Turns off photo access across the application.
When a tool is turned off instance-wide, it's hidden from navigation and search, blocked in the public and v1 APIs and MCP tooling, and hidden in the Password Manager extension, Assist, and the mobile app.
Visit Core Tools Per Group for additional information on restricting tools by group instead of instance-wide.
