Sharing an AWS Glue resource using hybrid access mode

Granting cross-account Lake Formation permissions in hybrid access mode

1. Producer account set up

   1. Sign in to the Lake Formation console using a role that has lakeformation:PutDataLakeSettings IAM permission.

   2. Go to Data Catalog settings, and choose Version 4 for the Cross account version settings.

      If you're currently using version 1 or 2, see Updating cross-account data sharing version settings instructions on updating to version 3.

      There are no permission policy changes required when upgrading from version 3 to 4.

   3. Register the Amazon S3 location of the database or table that you're planning to share in hybrid access mode.

   4. Verify that Super permission to the IAMAllowedPrincipals group exists on the databases and tables of which you registered the data location in hybrid access mode in the above step.

   5. Grant Lake Formation permissions to AWS organizations, organizational units (OUs), or directly with an IAM principal in another account.

   6. If you're granting permissions directly to an IAM principal, opt in the principal from the consumer account to enforce Lake Formation permissions in hybrid access mode by enabling the option Make Lake Formation permissions effective immediately.

      If you're granting cross-account permissions to another AWS account, when you opt in the account, Lake Formation permissions are enforced only for the admins of that account. The recipient account data lake administrator need to cascade down the permissions and opt in the principals in the account to enforce Lake Formation permissions for the shared resources that are in hybrid access mode.

      If you choose Resources matched by LF-Tags option to grant cross-account permissions, you need to first complete granting permissions step. You can opt in principals and resources to hybrid access mode as a separate step by choosing Hybrid access mode under Permissions on the left-navigation bar of the Lake Formation console. Then choose Add to add the resources and principals that you want to enforce Lake Formation permissions.

2. Consumer account set up

   1. Sign in to the Lake Formation console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/ as a data lake administrator.

   2. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ram, and accept the resource share invitation. The Shared with me tab in the AWS RAM console displays the database and tables that are shared with your account.

   3. Create a resource link to the shared database and/or table in Lake Formation.

   4. Grant Describe permission on resource link and Grant on target permission (on the original shared resource) to the IAM principals in your (consumer) account.

   5. Grant Lake Formation permissions on the database or table shared with you to the principals in your account. Opt in the principals and resources to enforce Lake Formation permissions in hybrid access mode by enabling the option Make Lake Formation permissions effective immediately.

   6. Test the principal's Lake Formation permissions by running sample Athena queries. Test the existing access of your AWS Glue users with IAM principal policies for Amazon S3 and AWS Glue actions.

      (Optional) Remove the Amazon S3 bucket policy for data access and IAM principal policies for AWS Glue and Amazon S3 data access for the principals that you configured to use Lake Formation permissions.
