Converting an Amazon Glue resource to a hybrid resource

To enable hybrid access mode for a data location that is not registered with Lake Formation

1. Register an Amazon S3 location enabling hybrid access mode.

   Console

   1. Sign in to the Lake Formation console as a data lake administrator.

   2. In the navigation pane, choose Data lake locations under Administration.

   3. Choose Register location.

      

   4. On the Register location window, choose the Amazon S3 path that you want to register with Lake Formation.

   5. For IAM role, choose either the AWSServiceRoleForLakeFormationDataAccess service-linked role (the default) or a custom IAM
 role that meets the requirements in Requirements for roles used to register locations.

   6. Choose Hybrid access mode to apply fine-grained Lake Formation access control policies to opt-in principals and Data Catalog databases and tables pointing to the registered location.


      Choose Lake Formation to allow Lake Formation to authorize access requests to the registered location.


   7. Choose Register location.

   Amazon CLI

   Following is an example for registering a data location with Lake Formation with HybridAccessEnabled:true/false. Default value for the HybridAccessEnabled parameter is false. Replace Amazon S3 path, role name, and Amazon account id with valid values.

   aws lakeformation register-resource --cli-input-json file:file path
   json:
       {
           "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:s3:::s3-path",
           "UseServiceLinkedRole": false,
           "RoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::<123456789012>:role/<role-name>",
           "HybridAccessEnabled": true
       }        

2. Grant permissions and opt in principals to use Lake Formation permissions for resources in hybrid access mode

   Before you opt in principals and resources in hybrid access mode, verify that grant Super or All permissions to IAMAllowedPrincipals group exists on the databases and tables that have location registered with Lake Formation in hybrid access mode.

   Note

   You can't grant the IAMAllowedPrincipals group permission on All tables within a database. You need to select each table separately from the drop-down menu, and grant permissions. Also, when you create new tables in the database, you can choose to use the Use only IAM access control for new tables in new databases in the Data Catalog Settings. This option grants Super permission to the IAMAllowedPrincipals group automatically when you create new tables within the database.

   Console

   1. On the Lake Formation console, under Data Catalog, choose Databases or Tables.

   2. Select a database or a table from the list, and choose Grant from the Actions menu.

   3. Choose principals to grant permissions on the database, tables, and columns using named resource method or LF-Tags.

      Alternatively, choose Data lake permissions, select the principals to grant permissions from the list, and choose Grant.

      For more details on granting data permissions, see Granting permissions on Data Catalog resources.

      Note

      If you’re granting a principal Create table permission, you also need to grant data location permissions (DATA_LOCATION_ACCESS) to the principal. This permission is not needed to update tables.

      For more information, see Granting data location permissions.

   4. When you use Named resource method to grant permissions, the option to opt in principals and resources is available on the lower section of the Grant data permission page.

      Choose Make Lake Formation permissions effective immediately to enable Lake Formation permissions for the principals and resources.

      

   5. Choose Grant.

      When you opt in principal A on table A that is pointing to a data location, it allows principal A to have access to this table’s location using Lake Formation permissions if the data location is registered in hybrid mode.

   Amazon CLI

   Following is an example for opting in a principal and a table in hybrid access mode. Replace the role name, Amazon account id, database name, and table name with valid values.

   aws lakeformation create-lake-formation-opt-in --cli-input-json file://file path
   json:
     {
           "Principal": {
               "DataLakePrincipalIdentifier": "arn:aws:iam::<123456789012>:role/<hybrid-access-role>"
           },
           "Resource": {
               "Table": {
                   "CatalogId": "<123456789012>",
                   "DatabaseName": "<hybrid_test>",
                   "Name": "<hybrid_test_table>"
               }
           }
       }              

   1. If you choose LF-Tags to grant permissions, you can opt in principals to use Lake Formation permissions in a separate step. You can do this by choosing Hybrid access mode under Permissions from the left navigation bar.

   2. On the lower section of the Hybrid access mode page, choose Add to add resources and principals to hybrid access mode.

   3. On the Add resources and principals page, choose the databases and tables registered in hybrid access mode. Choose principals to opt in to use Lake Formation permissions in hybrid access mode.

      You can choose All tables under a database to grant access.
