# /api/v1/objecttype

Read and write **objecttypes** — the per-record-type configuration that fylr layers on the datamodel definition (default masks, exposure flags, ACL, tags, transitions, mask / column filters, asset-filename policy, watermark and janitor policy). The objecttype itself (its name, fields and hierarchy) is part of the datamodel and is created through the schema endpoints; this endpoint only configures objecttypes that already exist in the current (committed) datamodel. A write updates the objecttype configuration directly and takes effect immediately when the request transaction commits — there is no working copy and no separate `schema/commit` step.

`GET` is open to any authenticated user; `POST` requires `system.objecttypemanager`. Authentication is by access token (a `Bearer` header or the `access_token` query parameter).

Differs from easydb 5: writes that touch collection ACLs are confirmed with the `confirm` / `allow_invalid_acl` / `background_invalid_acl` query parameters instead of easydb 5's single `collection_rights_policy` parameter.

### `GET /objecttype` — List all objecttypes in the current datamodel.
