# Create Object node

The Create Object node lets you create a new object in the underlying identity service (PingIDM) based on information collected during authentication, such as user registration.

Any managed object attributes that are marked as required in the underlying identity service (PingIDM) must be collected during authentication 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.
