# Working with Amazon Lake Formation-protected data


## Full Table Access


Amazon Glue supports Full Table Access (FTA) for Amazon Lake Formation-protected tables. This allows your ETL jobs to read and write data with full table permissions.

### Prerequisites

+ Appropriate IAM roles and permissions
+ Amazon Lake Formation configured for your data catalog
+ Compatible table types (Hive or Iceberg)

### Key considerations


#### Required permissions

+ `lakeformation:GetDataAccess` IAM permission
+ Amazon Lake Formation table permissions
+ Amazon S3 bucket access permissions

#### Supported table types

+ Hive tables
+ Iceberg tables

#### Limitations

+ Not compatible with Spark Streaming
+ Cannot be used simultaneously with fine-grained access control
+ Does not support Delta or Hudi tables

### Best Practices


1. Ensure IAM roles are properly configured before job execution

1. Test access permissions in a development environment

1. Monitor job execution logs for permission-related issues

1. Maintain clear documentation of access patterns

### Troubleshooting


Common issues include:
+ Missing IAM permissions
+ Incorrect Amazon Lake Formation configuration
+ Table type compatibility problems
