# Create Object node

The Create Object node lets you create a new object in IDM based on information collected during authentication, such as user registration.

Any managed object attributes that are marked as required in IDM must be collected during authentication in order to create the new object.

## Example

The following example uses this node with the [Increment Login Count node](increment-login-count.html) to create a new user object.

![Create object flow](_images/auth-node-create-object-journey.png)

* The [Page node](page.html) includes various nodes that collect attributes and store them in the shared node state.

* The [Create Object node](create-object.html) uses these attributes to create the new user.

* The [Increment Login Count node](increment-login-count.html) resets the retry count on successful authentication of the new user.

| Identity Resource | The type of managed identity resource object that this node creates. It must match the identity resource type for the current flow.

To check for the available managed identity resource types, go to the IDM admin UI, and open the Manage drop-down list in the upper right corner of the screen.

Identity managed object types are preceded by the icon.Default: `managed/user` |
