Viewing all cross-account grants using the GetResourceShares API operation

If your enterprise grants cross-account permissions using both an Amazon Glue Data Catalog resource policy and Lake Formation grants, the only way to view all cross-account grants in one place is to use the glue:GetResourceShares API operation.

When you grant Lake Formation permissions across accounts by using the named resource method, Amazon Resource Access Manager (Amazon RAM) creates an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) resource policy and stores it in your Amazon account. The policy grants the permissions required to access the resource. Amazon RAM creates a separate resource policy for each cross-account grant. You can view all of these policies by using the glue:GetResourceShares API operation.

Note

This operation also returns the Data Catalog resource policy. However, if you enabled meta data encryption in Data Catalog settings, and you don't have permission on the Amazon KMS key, the operation won't return the Data Catalog resource policy.

To view all cross-account grants

Enter the following Amazon CLI command.
```
aws glue get-resource-policies
```

The following is an example resource policy that Amazon RAM creates and stores when you grant permissions on table t in database db1 to Amazon account 1111-2222-3333.
