# Data Access Security

## Identity Collectors

An Identity Collector synchronizes identity data such as accounts and attributes for users, groups, and their relationships from your source into Data Access Security. You can use these Identity Collectors when you create Data Access Security applications to perform identity forensics and permission analysis.

>
> You need a license to access Identity Collectors. Contact your SailPoint Customer Success Manager (CSM) to request access and for more information.
