# Patch object stage

Currently, this stage is used *only* to patch the managed object with the terms and conditions acceptance obtained from `state`. If the terms and conditions state is not present, the stage simply advances to the next stage in the process.

* Example configuration

  ```json
  {
      "name" : "patchObject",
      "identityServiceUrl" : "managed/user"
  }
  ```

* Dependencies

  This stage requires the [Terms and Conditions stage](stage-terms-conditions.html) to have preceded it. It can be followed by any stage and can occur anywhere in a process.

* Requirements

  * `identityServiceUrl` - the managed object type on which this stage acts.
