Trusted identity propagation with Amazon Redshift
The steps to enable trusted identity propagation depend on whether your users interact with Amazon managed applications or customer managed applications. The following diagram shows a trusted identity propagation configuration for client-facing applications - either Amazon managed or external to Amazon - that query Amazon Redshift data with access control provided either by Amazon Redshift or by authorization services, such as Amazon Lake Formation or Amazon S3 Access Grants.
When trusted identity propagation to Amazon Redshift is enabled, Redshift administrators can configure Redshift to automatically create roles for IAM Identity Center as the identity provider, map Redshift roles to groups in IAM Identity Center, and use Redshift role-based access control to grant access.
