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).

Granting data location permissions

Data location permissions in Amazon Lake Formation enable principals to create and alter Data Catalog resources that point to designated registered Amazon S3 locations. Data location permissions work in addition to Lake Formation data permissions to secure information in your data lake.

Lake Formation does not use the Amazon Resource Access Manager (Amazon RAM) service for data location permission grants, so you don't need to accept resource share invitations for data location permissions.

You can grant data location permissions by using the Lake Formation console, API, or Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI).

Note

For a grant to succeed, you must first register the data location with Lake Formation.
