# People

> An object to represent human beings

```yaml People configuration theme={"system"}
api_slug: people
singular_noun: Person
plural_noun: People
```

The person object is available in every Attio workspace. When creating a person, a related company record will automatically be generated or matched based on the domain of the person's email address, but they can also be created manually via the web application or the API.

Person records are enriched, which means that Attio will automatically populate additional attributes, and those values cannot be overridden by API users. Additionally, some enriched attributes may be hidden from the API depending on the workspace billing plan.
