By default, only the contacts and document modules are available. You always need to use contacts (persons, organizations), since users are created based on contacts, and without users, there is no use.
Documents are used throughout the system and can be uploaded in almost every other objectobject (like requests, work orders, assets, etc), therefore this module is also always activated.

Start the module activation again via the regular optionmodule activation process. Be aware though, that this will reset all the settings back to the default values
Only active re-activate the module, without changing any of the other settings. This can be used if the module should be activated again, using the settings and options the same as before. This second option can also be found via the ‘Module activation’ option, via the last include:
