# Azure Synapse Analytics

## Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of users, roles, and group permissions across different metadata objects in Azure Synapse Analytics. 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 Azure Synapse Analytics. It outlines how to sync and view schemas, tables, columns, views, and programmable objects, review assigned permissions for different user groups, and capture audit logs of all crawled entries.

For more details, refer to the [Data Access Management - DDA](https://docs.ovaledge.com/~/changes/967/data-access/data-access-management).

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