# Using Amazon Lake Formation with Quick
<a name="qs-integ-lf"></a>

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

Both Standard and Enterprise edition users of Quick integrate with Lake Formation, but slightly differently.
+ Enterprise edition – Grant fine-grained access control (FGAC) permissions to individual Quick users and groups to access databases and tables. 
+ Standard edition – Grant permissions to IAM roles to access databases and tables.

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