Definition

In midPoint, an **ArchetypeType** is a classification object used to tag and organize other objects such as users, roles, and organizational units by a shared business or operational purpose. It is used to drive policy application, lifecycle behavior, assignment handling, and presentation by associating objects with a common archetype. In this product context, the term corresponds to a midPoint-specific concept rather than a formal IAM standard term.
