Configuring QuickBooks connections - Amazon Glue
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Configuring QuickBooks connections

QuickBooks supports the AUTHORIZATION_CODE grant type for OAuth2. The grant type determines how Amazon Glue communicates with QuickBooks to request access to your data.

  • This grant type is considered "three-legged" OAuth as it relies on redirecting users to a third-party authorization server to authenticate the user. It is used when creating connections via the Amazon Glue console.

  • Users may still opt to create their own connected app in QuickBooks and provide their own client ID and client secret when creating connections through the Amazon Glue console. In this scenario, they will still be redirected to QuickBooks to login and authorize Amazon Glue to access their resources.

  • This grant type results in a refresh token and access token. The access token is short lived, and may be refreshed automatically without user interaction using the refresh token.

  • For public QuickBooks documentation on creating a connected app for Authorization Code OAuth flow, see Set up OAuth 2.0.

To configure a QuickBooks connection:

  1. In Amazon Glue Glue Studio, create a connection under Data Connections by following the steps below:

    1. When selecting a Connection type, select QuickBooks.

    2. Provide the instance URL and company ID of the QuickBooks instance you want to connect to.

    3. Select the Amazon IAM role which Amazon Glue can assume and has permissions for following actions:

      {
"Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:DescribeSecret",
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
                "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
                "ec2:CreateNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DescribeNetworkInterface",
                "ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface",
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

    4. Select the secretName which you want to use for this connection in Amazon Glue to put the tokens.

    5. Select the network options if you want to use your network.

  2. Grant the IAM role associated with your Amazon Glue job permission to read secretName.
