Edit a workgroup - Amazon Athena

Editing a workgroup requires permissions to UpdateWorkgroup API operations. See Configure access to workgroups and tags and Use IAM policies to control workgroup access. If you are adding or editing tags, you also need to have permissions to TagResource. See Tag policy examples for workgroups.

To edit a workgroup in the console

  1. In the Athena console navigation pane, choose Workgroups.

  2. On the Workgroups page, select the button for the workgroup that you want to edit.

  3. Choose Actions, Edit.

  4. Change the fields as needed. For the list of fields, see Create workgroup. You can change all fields except for the workgroup's name. If you need to change the name, create another workgroup with the new name and the same settings.

  5. Choose Save changes. The updated workgroup appears in the list on the Workgroups page.
