Object modeling

Guide to creating and managing objects in PingIDM.

Starting with IDM 8.1, the legacy admin UI is deprecated and is no longer bundled with IDM. It’s available as a separate download from the Backstage download site.

To continue using the legacy admin UI, follow the steps in Install the legacy admin UI.

IDM provides a default schema for typical managed object types, such as users, roles, and groups, but does not control the structure of objects that you store in the repository. This section shows you how to change and add to the managed object schema, how to establish relationships between objects, and how to use policies to validate objects. You will also learn how to access IDM objects using queries.
