Using Amazon Lake Formation with Amazon QuickSight

Amazon QuickSight supports exploring datasets managed by Lake Formation permissions in Amazon S3 using Athena.

Both Standard and Enterprise edition users of Amazon QuickSight integrate with Lake Formation, but slightly differently.

  • Enterprise edition – Grant fine-grained access control (FGAC) permissions to individual Amazon QuickSight users, groups, and IAM roles to access databases and tables.

  • Standard edition – Grant permissions to IAM roles to access databases and tables.

Note

By default, Amazon QuickSight uses a role named aws-quicksight-service-role-v0. You can also define custom roles with required permissions that enable Amazon QuickSight to access Athena.
