# Router configuration

The router service provides the uniform interface to all IDM objects: managed objects, system objects, configuration objects, and so on.

The router configuration *(tooltip: You can edit the router configuration over REST at the config/router endpoint, or directly in the conf/router.json file.)* contains an array of [Filter objects](filter-objects.html):

```json
{
  "filters": [ filter object, ... ]
}
```
