Data Models and Objects Reference

You can customize a variety of objects that can be addressed via a URL or URI. IDM can perform a common set of functions on these objects, such as CRUDPAQ (create, read, update, delete, patch, action, and query).

Depending on how you intend to use them, different object types are appropriate.
