Using Amazon Lake Formation with Quick Suite
Quick Suite supports exploring datasets managed by Lake Formation permissions in Amazon S3 using Athena.
Both Standard and Enterprise edition users of Quick Suite integrate with Lake Formation, but slightly differently.
-
Enterprise edition – Grant fine-grained access control (FGAC) permissions to individual Quick Suite users and groups to access databases and tables.
-
Standard edition – Grant permissions to IAM roles to access databases and tables.
Note
By default, Quick Suite uses a role named aws-quicksight-service-role-v0
. You can also define custom roles with required permissions that enable Quick Suite to access Athena.
