# Amazon S3

## Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of users, roles, and policies permissions across different metadata objects in Amazon S3. This helps administrators and source system owners maintain visibility and control over access at every level.

This section describes how Data Access Management works for Amazon S3. It outlines how to sync and view buckets, folders, and files, review assigned permissions for different users, roles, policies, and capture 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.
