Data Storage: Overview of Methods

Data storage helps applications retain their own information in Bitrix24. You can save entities in the storage, group them by sections, and configure access permissions.

The group of methods entity.* allows you to create storages, retrieve their list, modify parameters, manage permissions, and delete unnecessary ones.
