Use tag-based IAM access control policies
Having tags allows you to write an IAM policy that includes the
Condition block to control access to a resource based on its tags. This
section includes tag policy examples for workgroup and data catalog resources.
Tag policy examples for workgroups
The following IAM policy allows you to run queries and interact with
tags for the workgroup named workgroupA:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:ListWorkGroups", "athena:ListEngineVersions", "athena:ListDataCatalogs", "athena:ListDatabases", "athena:GetDatabase", "athena:ListTableMetadata", "athena:GetTableMetadata" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:GetWorkGroup", "athena:TagResource", "athena:UntagResource", "athena:ListTagsForResource", "athena:StartQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryExecution", "athena:BatchGetQueryExecution", "athena:ListQueryExecutions", "athena:StopQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryResults", "athena:GetQueryResultsStream", "athena:CreateNamedQuery", "athena:GetNamedQuery", "athena:BatchGetNamedQuery", "athena:ListNamedQueries", "athena:DeleteNamedQuery", "athena:CreatePreparedStatement", "athena:GetPreparedStatement", "athena:ListPreparedStatements", "athena:UpdatePreparedStatement", "athena:DeletePreparedStatement" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:workgroup/workgroupA" } ] }
Tags that are associated with a resource like a workgroup are referred to
as resource tags. Resource tags let you write policy blocks like the
following that deny the listed actions on any workgroup tagged with a
key-value pair like stack, production.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": [ "athena:GetWorkGroup", "athena:UpdateWorkGroup", "athena:DeleteWorkGroup", "athena:TagResource", "athena:UntagResource", "athena:ListTagsForResource", "athena:StartQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryExecution", "athena:BatchGetQueryExecution", "athena:ListQueryExecutions", "athena:StopQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryResults", "athena:GetQueryResultsStream", "athena:CreateNamedQuery", "athena:GetNamedQuery", "athena:BatchGetNamedQuery", "athena:ListNamedQueries", "athena:DeleteNamedQuery", "athena:CreatePreparedStatement", "athena:GetPreparedStatement", "athena:ListPreparedStatements", "athena:UpdatePreparedStatement", "athena:DeletePreparedStatement" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:workgroup/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:ResourceTag/stack": "production" } } } ] }
Tags that are passed in as parameters to operations that change tags (for
example, TagResource, UntagResource, or
CreateWorkGroup with tags) are referred to as request tags.
The following example policy block allows the CreateWorkGroup
operation only if one of the tags passed has the key costcenter
and the value 1, 2, or 3.
Note
If you want to allow an IAM role to pass in tags as part of a
CreateWorkGroup operation, make sure that you give the
role permissions to the TagResource and
CreateWorkGroup actions.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:CreateWorkGroup", "athena:TagResource" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:workgroup/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:RequestTag/costcenter": [ "1", "2", "3" ] } } } ] }
Tag policy examples for data catalogs
The following IAM policy allows you to interact with tags for the data
catalog named datacatalogA:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:ListWorkGroups", "athena:ListEngineVersions", "athena:ListDataCatalogs", "athena:ListDatabases", "athena:GetDatabase", "athena:ListTableMetadata", "athena:GetTableMetadata" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:GetWorkGroup", "athena:TagResource", "athena:UntagResource", "athena:ListTagsForResource", "athena:StartQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryExecution", "athena:BatchGetQueryExecution", "athena:ListQueryExecutions", "athena:StopQueryExecution", "athena:GetQueryResults", "athena:GetQueryResultsStream", "athena:CreateNamedQuery", "athena:GetNamedQuery", "athena:BatchGetNamedQuery", "athena:ListNamedQueries", "athena:DeleteNamedQuery" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:workgroup/*" ] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:CreateDataCatalog", "athena:GetDataCatalog", "athena:UpdateDataCatalog", "athena:DeleteDataCatalog", "athena:ListDatabases", "athena:GetDatabase", "athena:ListTableMetadata", "athena:GetTableMetadata", "athena:TagResource", "athena:UntagResource", "athena:ListTagsForResource" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:datacatalog/datacatalogA" } ] }
You can use resource tags to write policy blocks that deny specific
actions on data catalogs that are tagged with specific tag key-value pairs.
The following example policy denies actions on data catalogs that have the
tag key-value pair stack, production.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Deny", "Action": [ "athena:CreateDataCatalog", "athena:GetDataCatalog", "athena:UpdateDataCatalog", "athena:DeleteDataCatalog", "athena:GetDatabase", "athena:ListDatabases", "athena:GetTableMetadata", "athena:ListTableMetadata", "athena:StartQueryExecution", "athena:TagResource", "athena:UntagResource", "athena:ListTagsForResource" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:datacatalog/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:ResourceTag/stack": "production" } } } ] }
Tags that are passed in as parameters to operations that change tags (for
example, TagResource, UntagResource, or
CreateDataCatalog with tags) are referred to as request
tags. The following example policy block allows the
CreateDataCatalog operation only if one of the tags passed
has the key costcenter and the value 1,
2, or 3.
Note
If you want to allow an IAM role to pass in tags as part of a
CreateDataCatalog operation, make sure that you give
the role permissions to the TagResource and
CreateDataCatalog actions.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "athena:CreateDataCatalog", "athena:TagResource" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:123456789012:datacatalog/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:RequestTag/costcenter": [ "1", "2", "3" ] } } } ] }
