You're running on app.nucleuslms.io. We run the control plane, the cluster, the database, the backups, the TLS — you run your courses.

This book covers everything you can do from the operator portal.

Setting up

1. Onboarding — federation request → approval → checkout → first hub
2. Provisioning spokes — naming, sizing, DNS
3. Federation modes — pick mode A, B, or both per federation

Day-to-day

• Billing & plans — Standard, Dedicated, money-back guarantee, refund process
• Backups & data — what's retained, how to request a restore
• Users & roles — operator, hub admin, spoke admin

What's not in this book

The conceptual model lives in Concepts — what hubs and spokes are, how federation works, what the lifecycle states mean. Read that first if you're new.

The HTTP API lives in the API book. Most things you can do from the portal are also doable via the API; a few (token minting, password reset) are session-only.
