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).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

Creating, altering, and deleting groups

Only a superuser can create, alter, or drop groups.

You can perform the following actions:

  • To create a group, use the CREATE GROUP command.

  • To add users to or remove users from an existing group, use the ALTER GROUP command.

  • To delete a group, use the DROP GROUP command. This command only drops the group, not its member users.
