# Amazon Redshift

## Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of roles, groups, users, and their permissions across Amazon Redshift metadata objects, including databases, schemas, tables, columns, and masking policies. This allows administrators and source owners to maintain clear visibility and control over data access.

This section describes how Data Access Management works for Amazon Redshift. It covers the process of syncing and viewing metadata, reviewing assigned permissions for users, roles, and groups, and capturing audit logs of all crawled entries.

For more details, refer to the [Data Access Management - DDA](/release8.1/data-access/data-access-management.md).

DAM functionality may vary depending on the capabilities of the source system.
