# Inventory Collaborators Scan

The Inventory Scan may include an analysis of administrative users, contributors, and collaborators associated with the repository. This Collaborator analysis helps identify inactive or overprivileged users, tracing potential risks they introduce.

### Collaborators analysis

The collaborators analysis will categorize groups and users based on the following criteria:

* List all SCM user accounts with direct or inherited read, write, or manage permissions on the repository.
* Identify all SCM groups those user belong to.
* All git users not related to a SCM account but have commits on the git history. (any branch)

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, only user activity from the past 12 months is considered.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xygeni.io/xygeni-products/application-security-posture-management-aspm/inventory-scanner/inventory-collaborators-scan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
