Implement tag-based entry management to your knowledge lake and Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing with AWS Lake Formation

Knowledge-driven organizations deal with knowledge as an asset and use it throughout completely different traces of enterprise (LOBs) to drive well timed insights and higher enterprise selections. Many organizations have a distributed instruments and infrastructure throughout numerous enterprise items. This results in having knowledge throughout many cases of information warehouses and knowledge lakes utilizing a trendy knowledge structure in separate AWS accounts.

Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing lets you securely share reside, transactionally constant knowledge in a single Amazon Redshift knowledge warehouse with one other Redshift knowledge warehouse inside the similar AWS account, throughout accounts, and throughout Areas, while not having to repeat or transfer knowledge from one cluster to a different. Prospects need to have the ability to handle their permissions in a central place throughout all of their property. Beforehand, the administration of Redshift datashares was restricted to solely inside Amazon Redshift, which made it troublesome to handle your knowledge lake permissions and Amazon Redshift permissions in a single place. For instance, you needed to navigate to a person account to view and handle entry info for Amazon Redshift and the information lake on Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3). As a corporation grows, directors need a mechanism to successfully and centrally handle knowledge sharing throughout knowledge lakes and knowledge warehouses for governance and auditing, and to implement fine-grained entry management.

We just lately introduced the mixing of Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing with AWS Lake Formation. With this characteristic, Amazon Redshift prospects can now handle sharing, apply entry insurance policies centrally, and successfully scale the permission utilizing LF-Tags.

Lake Formation has been a well-liked selection for centrally governing knowledge lakes backed by Amazon S3. Now, with Lake Formation help for Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing, it opens up new design patterns and broadens governance and safety posture throughout knowledge warehouses. With this integration, you should utilize Lake Formation to outline fine-grained entry management on tables and views being shared with Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing for federated AWS Id and Entry Administration (IAM) customers and IAM roles. Lake Formation additionally offers tag-based entry management (TBAC), which can be utilized to simplify and scale governance of information catalog objects resembling databases and tables.

On this submit, we focus on this new characteristic and how one can implement TBAC to your knowledge lake and Amazon Redshift knowledge sharing on Lake Formation.

Answer overview

Lake Formation tag-based entry management (LF-TBAC) lets you group related AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog sources collectively and outline the grant or revoke permissions coverage through the use of an LF-Tag expression. LF-Tags are hierarchical in that when a database is tagged with an LF-Tag, all tables in that database inherit the tag, and when a LF-Tag is utilized to a desk, all of the columns inside that desk inherit the tag. Inherited tags then may be overridden if wanted. You then can create entry insurance policies inside Lake Formation utilizing LF-Tag expressions to grant principals entry to tagged sources utilizing an LF-Tag expression. See Managing LF-Tags for metadata entry management for extra particulars.

To reveal LF-TBAC with central knowledge entry governance functionality, we use the situation the place two separate enterprise items personal specific datasets and have to share knowledge throughout groups.

We now have a buyer care staff who manages and owns the client info database together with buyer demographics knowledge. And have a advertising and marketing staff who owns a buyer leads dataset, which incorporates info on potential prospects and speak to leads.

To have the ability to run efficient campaigns, the advertising and marketing staff wants entry to the client knowledge. On this submit, we reveal the method of sharing this knowledge that’s saved within the knowledge warehouse and giving the advertising and marketing staff entry. Moreover, there are personally identifiable info (PII) columns inside the buyer dataset that ought to solely be accessed by a subset of energy customers on a need-to-know foundation. This manner, knowledge analysts inside advertising and marketing can solely see non-PII columns to have the ability to run nameless buyer phase evaluation, however a gaggle of energy customers can entry PII columns (for instance, buyer e-mail tackle) to have the ability to run campaigns or surveys for particular teams of shoppers.

The next diagram reveals the construction of the datasets that we work with on this submit and a tagging technique to offer fine-grained column-level entry.

Past our tagging technique on the information sources, the next desk offers an outline of how we should always grant permissions to our two personas by way of tags.

The next diagram offers a high-level overview of the setup that we deploy on this submit.

The next is a high-level overview of how one can use Lake Formation to manage datashare permissions:

Producer Setup:

1. Within the producers AWS account, the Amazon Redshift administrator that owns the client database creates a Redshift datashare on the producer cluster and grants utilization to the AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog in the identical account.
2. The producer cluster administrator authorizes the Lake Formation account to entry the datashare.
3. In Lake Formation, the Lake Formation administrator discovers and registers the datashares. They have to uncover the AWS Glue ARNs they’ve entry to and affiliate the datashares with an AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog ARN. In case you’re utilizing the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), you may uncover and settle for datashares with the Redshift CLI operations describe-data-shares and associate-data-share-consumer. To register a datashare, use the Lake Formation CLI operation register-resource.
4. The Lake Formation administrator creates a federated database within the AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog; assigns tags to the databases, tables, and columns; and configures Lake Formation permissions to manage person entry to things inside the datashare. For extra details about federated databases in AWS Glue, see Managing permissions for knowledge in an Amazon Redshift datashare.

Shopper Setup:

1. On the patron facet (advertising and marketing), the Amazon Redshift administrator discovers the AWS Glue database ARNs they’ve entry to, creates an exterior database within the Redshift client cluster utilizing an AWS Glue database ARN, and grants utilization to database customers authenticated with IAM credentials to start out querying the Redshift database.
2. Database customers can use the views SVV_EXTERNAL_TABLES and SVV_EXTERNAL_COLUMNS to search out all of the tables or columns inside the AWS Glue database that they’ve entry to; then they’ll question the AWS Glue database’s tables.

When the producer cluster administrator decides to not share the information with the patron cluster, the producer cluster administrator can revoke utilization, deauthorize, or delete the datashare from Amazon Redshift. The related permissions and objects in Lake Formation are usually not mechanically deleted.

Stipulations:

To comply with the steps on this submit, it’s essential to fulfill the next conditions:

Deploy surroundings together with producer and client Redshift clusters

To comply with alongside the steps outlined on this submit, deploy following AWS CloudFormation stack that features crucial sources to reveal the topic of this submit:

1. Select Launch stack to deploy a CloudFormation template.
   
2. Present an IAM position that you’ve already configured as a Lake Formation administrator.
3. Full the steps to deploy the template and go away all settings as default.
4. Choose I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation may create IAM sources, then select Submit.
   

This CloudFormation stack creates the next sources:

• Producer Redshift cluster – Owned by the client care staff and has buyer and demographic knowledge on it.
• Shopper Redshift cluster – Owned by the advertising and marketing staff and is used to investigate knowledge throughout knowledge warehouses and knowledge lakes.
• S3 knowledge lake – Incorporates the net exercise and leads datasets.
• Different crucial sources to reveal the method of sharing knowledge – For instance, IAM roles, Lake Formation configuration, and extra. For a full record of sources created by the stack, study the CloudFormation template.

After you deploy this CloudFormation template, sources created will incur value to your AWS account. On the finish of the method, just remember to clear up sources to keep away from pointless prices.

After the CloudFormation stack is deployed efficiently (standing reveals as CREATE_COMPLETE), be aware of the next gadgets on the Outputs tab:

• Advertising analyst position ARN
• Advertising energy person position ARN
• URL for Amazon Redshift admin password saved in AWS Secrets and techniques Supervisor

Create a Redshift datashare and add related tables

On the AWS Administration Console, change to the position that you simply nominated as Lake Formation admin when deploying the CloudFormation template. Then go to Question Editor v2. If that is the primary time utilizing Question Editor V2 in your account, comply with these steps to configure your AWS account.

Step one in Question Editor is to log in to the client Redshift cluster utilizing the database admin credentials to make your IAM admin position a DB admin on the database.

1. Select the choices menu (three dots) subsequent to the lfunified-customer-dwh cluster and select Create connection.
   
   
2. Choose Database person identify and password.
3. Go away Database as dev.
4. For Person identify, enter admin.
5. For Password, full the next steps:
   1. Go to the console URL, which is the worth of the RedShiftClusterPassword CloudFormation output in earlier step. The URL is the Secrets and techniques Supervisor console for this password.
   2. Scroll right down to the Secret worth part and select Retrieve secret worth.
      
   3. Pay attention to the password to make use of later when connecting to the advertising and marketing Redshift cluster.
   4. Enter this worth for Password.
6. Select Create connection.
   

Create a datashare utilizing a SQL command

Full the next steps to create a datashare within the knowledge producer cluster (buyer care) and share it with Lake Formation:

1. On the Amazon Redshift console, within the navigation pane, select Editor, then Question editor V2.
2. Select (right-click) the cluster identify and select Edit connection or Create connection.
3. For Authentication, choose Non permanent credentials utilizing your IAM id.

Seek advice from Connecting to an Amazon Redshift database to be taught extra concerning the numerous authentication strategies.

4. For Database, enter a database identify (for this submit, dev).
5. Select Create connection to hook up with the database.
   
6. Run the next SQL instructions to create the datashare and add the information objects to be shared:

   create datashare customer_ds;
   ALTER DATASHARE customer_ds ADD SCHEMA PUBLIC;
   ALTER DATASHARE customer_ds ADD TABLE buyer;

7. Run the next SQL command to share the client datashare to the present account by way of the AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog:

   GRANT USAGE ON DATASHARE customer_ds TO ACCOUNT '<aws-account-id>' by way of DATA CATALOG;

8. Confirm the datashare was created and objects shared by working the next SQL command:

   DESC DATASHARE customer_ds;

Pay attention to the datashare producer cluster identify house and account ID, which can be used within the following step. You possibly can full the next actions on the console, however for simplicity, we use AWS CLI instructions.

9. Go to CloudShell or your AWS CLI and run the next AWS CLI command to authorize the datashare to the Knowledge Catalog in order that Lake Formation can handle them:

   aws redshift authorize-data-share 
   --data-share-arn 'arn:aws:redshift:<aws-region>:<aws-account-id>:datashare:<producer-cluster-namespace>/customer_ds' 
   --consumer-identifier DataCatalog/<aws-account-id>

The next is an instance output:

 {
    "DataShareArn": "arn:aws:redshift:us-east-2:<aws-account-id>:datashare:cd8d91b5-0c17-4567-a52a-59f1bdda71cd/customer_ds",
    "ProducerArn": "arn:aws:redshift:us-east-2:<aws-account-id>:namespace:cd8d91b5-0c17-4567-a52a-59f1bdda71cd",
    "AllowPubliclyAccessibleConsumers": false,
    "DataShareAssociations": [{
        "ConsumerIdentifier": "DataCatalog/<aws-account-id>XX",
        "Status": "AUTHORIZED",
        "CreatedDate": "2022-11-09T21:10:30.507000+00:00",
        "StatusChangeDate": "2022-11-09T21:10:50.932000+00:00"
    }]
}

Pay attention to your datashare ARN that you simply used on this command to make use of within the subsequent steps.

Settle for the datashare within the Lake Formation catalog

To just accept the datashare, full the next steps:

1. Run the next AWS CLI command to just accept and affiliate the Amazon Redshift datashare to the AWS Glue Knowledge Catalog:

   aws redshift associate-data-share-consumer --data-share-arn 'arn:aws:redshift:<aws-region>:<aws-account-id>:datashare:<producer-cluster-namespace>/customer_ds' 
   --consumer-arn arn:aws:glue:<aws-region>:<aws-account-id>:catalog

The next is an instance output:

{
 "DataShareArn": "arn:aws:redshift:us-east-2:<aws-account-id>:datashare:cfd5fcbd-3492-42b5-9507-dad5d87f7427/customer_ds",
 "ProducerArn": "arn:aws:redshift:us-east-2:<aws-account-id>:namespace:cfd5fcbd-3492-42b5-9507-dad5d87f7427",
 "AllowPubliclyAccessibleConsumers": false,
 "DataShareAssociations": [
 {
 "ConsumerIdentifier": "arn:aws:glue:us-east-2:<aws-account-id>:catalog",
 "Status": "ACTIVE",
 "ConsumerRegion": "us-east-2",
 "CreatedDate": "2023-05-18T12:25:11.178000+00:00",
 "StatusChangeDate": "2023-05-18T12:25:11.178000+00:00"
 }
 ]
}

2. Register the datashare in Lake Formation:

   aws lakeformation register-resource 
    --resource-arn arn:aws:redshift:<aws-region>:<producer-aws-account-id>:datashare:<producer-cluster-namespace>/customer_ds

3. Create the AWS Glue database that factors to the accepted Redshift datashare:

   aws glue create-database --region <aws-region> --cli-input-json '{
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "DatabaseInput": {
           "Identify": "customer_db_shared",
           "FederatedDatabase": {
               "Identifier": "arn:aws:redshift:<aws-region>:<producer-aws-account-id>:datashare:<producer-cluster-namespace>/customer_ds",
               "ConnectionName": "aws:redshift"
           }
       }
   }'

4. To confirm, go to the Lake Formation console and examine that the database customer_db_shared is created.
   

Now the information lake administrator can view and grant entry on each the database and tables to the information client staff (advertising and marketing) personas utilizing Lake Formation TBAC.

Assign Lake Formation tags to sources

Earlier than we grant acceptable entry to the IAM principals of the information analyst and energy person inside the advertising and marketing staff, we now have to assign LF-tags to tables and columns of the customer_db_shared database. We then grant these principals permission to acceptable LF-tags.

To assign LF-tags, comply with these steps:

1. Assign the division and classification LF-tag to customer_db_shared (Redshift datashare) primarily based on the tagging technique desk within the resolution overview. You possibly can run the next actions on the console, however for this submit, we use the next AWS CLI command:

   aws lakeformation add-lf-tags-to-resource --cli-input-json '{
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "Useful resource": {
       "Database": {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "Identify": "customer_db_shared"
       }
       },
       "LFTags": [
       {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "TagKey": "department",
       "TagValues": [
       "customer"]
       },
       {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "TagKey": "classification",
       "TagValues": [
       "private"]
       }
       ]
       }'

If the command is profitable, it’s best to get a response like the next:

2. Assign the suitable division and classification LF-tag to marketing_db (on the S3 knowledge lake):

   aws lakeformation add-lf-tags-to-resource --cli-input-json '{
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "Useful resource": {
       "Database": {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "Identify": "lfunified_marketing_dl_db"
       }
       },
       "LFTags": [
       {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "TagKey": "department",
       "TagValues": [
       "marketing"]
       },
       {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "TagKey": "classification",
       "TagValues": [
       "private"]
       }
       ]
       }'

Be aware that though you solely assign the division and classification tag on the database stage, it will get inherited by the tables and columns inside that database.

3. Assign the classification pii-sensitive LF-tag to PII columns of the buyer desk to override the inherited worth from the database stage:

   aws lakeformation add-lf-tags-to-resource --cli-input-json '{
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "Useful resource": {
       "TableWithColumns": {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "DatabaseName": "customer_db_shared",
       "Identify": "public.buyer",
       "ColumnNames":["c_first_name","c_last_name","c_email_address"]
       }
       },
       "LFTags": [
       {
       "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
       "TagKey": "classification",
       "TagValues": [
       "pii-sensitive"]
       }
       ]
       }'

Grant permission primarily based on LF-tag affiliation

Run the next two AWS CLI instructions to permit the advertising and marketing knowledge analyst entry to the client desk excluding the pii-sensitive (PII) columns. Substitute the worth for DataLakePrincipalIdentifier with the MarketingAnalystRoleARN that you simply famous from the outputs of the CloudFormation stack:

aws lakeformation grant-permissions --cli-input-json '{
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "<MarketingAnalystRoleARN-from-CloudFormation-Outputs>"},
    "Useful resource": {
    "LFTagPolicy": {
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "DATABASE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "DESCRIBE"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
}'
aws lakeformation grant-permissions --cli-input-json '{
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "<MarketingAnalystRoleARN-from-CloudFormation-Outputs>"},
    "Useful resource": {
    "LFTagPolicy": {
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "TABLE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "SELECT"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
}'

We now have now granted advertising and marketing analysts entry to the client database and tables that aren’t pii-sensitive.

To permit advertising and marketing energy customers entry to desk columns with restricted LF-tag (PII columns), run the next AWS CLI command:

aws lakeformation grant-permissions --cli-input-json '{
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "<MarketingPowerUserRoleARN-from-CloudFormation-Outputs>"},
    "Useful resource": {
    "LFTagPolicy": {
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "DATABASE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "DESCRIBE"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
}'
aws lakeformation grant-permissions --cli-input-json '{
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "<MarketingPowerUserRoleARN-from-CloudFormation-Outputs>"},
    "Useful resource": {
    "LFTagPolicy": {
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "TABLE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private", "pii-sensitive"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "SELECT"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
}'

We will mix the grants right into a single batch grant permissions name:

aws lakeformation batch-grant-permissions --region us-east-1 --cli-input-json '{
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
 "Entries": [
 {  "Id": "1",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "arn:aws:iam:: <aws-account-id>:role/Blog-MarketingAnalystRole-1CYV6JSNN14E3"},
    "Resource": {

    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "DATABASE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "DESCRIBE"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
    },
    {  "Id": "2",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "arn:aws:iam:: <aws-account-id>:position/Weblog-MarketingAnalystRole-1CYV6JSNN14E3"},
    "Useful resource": {

    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "SELECT"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
    },
     {  "Id": "3",
    "Principal": {"DataLakePrincipalIdentifier" : "arn:aws:iam:: <aws-account-id>:position/Weblog-MarketingPoweruserRole-RKKM0TWQBP0W"},
    "Useful resource": {
    "LFTagPolicy": {
    "CatalogId": "<aws-account-id>",
    "ResourceType": "DATABASE",
    "Expression": [{"TagKey": "department","TagValues": ["marketing","customer"]},{"TagKey": "classification","TagValues": ["private", "pii-sensitive"]}]
    }
    },
    "Permissions": [
    "DESCRIBE"
    ],
    "PermissionsWithGrantOption": []
    },
    {  "Id": "4",

On this part, we undergo the steps to check the situation.

Devour the datashare within the client (advertising and marketing) knowledge warehouse

To allow the shoppers (advertising and marketing staff) to entry the client knowledge shared with them by way of the datashare, first we now have to configure Question Editor v2. This configuration is to make use of IAM credentials because the principal for the Lake Formation permissions. Full the next steps:

1. Check in to the console utilizing the admin position you nominated in working the CloudFormation template step.
2. On the Amazon Redshift console, go to Question Editor v2.
3. Select the gear icon within the navigation pane, then select Account settings.
   
4. Beneath Connection settings, choose Authenticate with IAM credentials.
5. Select Save.
   

Now let’s hook up with the advertising and marketing Redshift cluster and make the client database accessible to the advertising and marketing staff.

6. Select the choices menu (three dots) subsequent to the Serverless:lfunified-marketing-wg cluster and select Create connection.
7. Choose Database person identify and password.
8. Go away Database as dev.
9. For Person identify, enter admin.

11. Select Create connection.
12. As soon as efficiently linked, select the plus signal and select Editor to open a brand new Question Editor tab.
13. Just remember to specify the Serverless: lfunified-marketing-wg workgroup and dev database.
    
14. To create the Redshift database from the shared catalog database, run the next SQL command on the brand new tab:

    CREATE DATABASE ext_customerdb_shared FROM ARN 'arn:aws:glue:<aws-region>:<aws-account-id>:database/customer_db_shared' WITH DATA CATALOG SCHEMA "customer_db_shared"

15. Run the next SQL instructions to create and grant utilization on the Redshift database to the IAM roles for the facility customers and knowledge analyst. You may get the IAM position names from the CloudFormation stack outputs:

    CREATE USER IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingAnalystRole-XXXXXXXXXXXX" password disable;
    GRANT USAGE ON DATABASE ext_customerdb_shared to IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingAnalystRole-XXXXXXXXXXXX";
    
    CREATE USER IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingPoweruserRole-YYYYYYYYYYYY" password disable;
    GRANT USAGE ON DATABASE ext_customerdb_shared to IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingPoweruserRole-YYYYYYYYYYYY";

Create the information lake schema in AWS Glue and permit the advertising and marketing energy position to question the lead and net exercise knowledge

Run the next SQL instructions to make the lead knowledge within the S3 knowledge lake accessible to the advertising and marketing staff:

create exterior schema datalake from knowledge catalog
database 'lfunified_marketing_dl_db' 
iam_role 'SESSION'
catalog_id '<aws-account-id>';
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA datalake TO IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingAnalystRole-XXXXXXXXXXXX";
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA datalake TO IAMR:"lf-redshift-ds-MarketingPoweruserRole-YYYYYYYYYYYY";

Question the shared dataset as a advertising and marketing analyst person

To validate that the advertising and marketing staff analysts (IAM position marketing-analyst-role) have entry to the shared database, carry out the next steps:

1. Check in to the console (for comfort, you should utilize a distinct browser) and change your position to lf-redshift-ds-MarketingAnalystRole-XXXXXXXXXXXX.
2. On the Amazon Redshift console, go to Question Editor v2.
3. To hook up with the patron cluster, select the Serverless: lfunified-marketing-wg client knowledge warehouse within the navigation pane.
4. When prompted, for Authentication, choose Federated person.
5. For Database, enter the database identify (for this submit, dev).
6. Select Save.
7. When you’re linked to the database, you may validate the present logged-in person with the next SQL command:

   choose current_user;

   

8. To search out the federated databases created on the patron account, run the next SQL command:

   SHOW DATABASES FROM DATA CATALOG ACCOUNT '<aws-account-id>';

   

9. To validate permissions for the advertising and marketing analyst position, run the next SQL command:

   choose * from ext_customerdb_shared.public.buyer restrict 10;

As you may see within the following screenshot, the advertising and marketing analyst is ready to efficiently entry the client knowledge however solely the non-PII attributes, which was our intention.

10. Now let’s validate that the advertising and marketing analyst doesn’t have entry to the PII columns of the identical desk:

    choose c_customer_email from ext_customerdb_shared.public.buyer restrict 10;

    

Question the shared datasets as a advertising and marketing energy person

To validate that the advertising and marketing energy customers (IAM position lf-redshift-ds-MarketingPoweruserRole-YYYYYYYYYYYY) have entry to pii-sensetive columns within the shared database, carry out the next steps:

1. Check in to the console (for comfort, you should utilize a distinct browser) and change your position to lf-redshift-ds-MarketingPoweruserRole-YYYYYYYYYYYY.
2. On the Amazon Redshift console, go to Question Editor v2.
3. To hook up with the patron cluster, select the Serverless: lfunified-marketing-wg client knowledge warehouse within the navigation pane.
4. When prompted, for Authentication, choose Federated person.
