Governed Object
A governed object is the target of governance controls.
Each governed object belongs to an object domain such as TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid and has an object type.
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid object domain supports governed objects such as service endpoints or reference (partner invocation) endpoints that can further be narrowed down by transport (HTTP or JMS) and by protocol (REST or SOAP). TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid also supports governed objects such as Virtualization services and references as well as WebApp components.
Policies that are relevant to service-side governed objects differ from policies that apply to client-side governed objects. For example, the Authentication policy applies to service type of Governed Objects and the Credential Mapping policy applies to reference type of Governed Objects.
