To allow your workforce customers for analytics with fine-grained knowledge entry controls and audit knowledge entry, you might need to create a number of AWS Id and Entry Administration (IAM) roles with completely different knowledge permissions and map the workforce customers to a kind of roles. A number of customers are sometimes mapped to the identical position the place they want comparable privileges to allow knowledge entry controls on the company person or group degree and audit knowledge entry.
AWS IAM Id Heart permits centralized administration of workforce person entry to AWS accounts and functions utilizing an area id retailer or by connecting company directories by way of id suppliers (IdPs). IAM Id Heart now helps trusted id propagation, a streamlined expertise for customers who require entry to knowledge with AWS analytics providers.
Amazon EMR Studio is an built-in improvement atmosphere (IDE) that makes it simple for knowledge scientists and knowledge engineers to construct knowledge engineering and knowledge science functions. With trusted id propagation, knowledge entry administration might be primarily based on a person’s company id and might be propagated seamlessly as they entry knowledge with single sign-on to construct analytics functions with Amazon EMR (EMR Studio and Amazon EMR on EC2).
AWS Lake Formation permits knowledge directors to centrally govern, safe, and share knowledge for analytics and machine studying (ML). With trusted id propagation, knowledge directors can straight present granular entry to company customers utilizing their id attributes and simplify the traceability of end-to-end knowledge entry throughout AWS providers. As a result of entry is managed primarily based on a person’s company id, they don’t want to make use of database native person credentials or assume an IAM position to entry knowledge.
On this publish, we present the best way to convey your workforce id to EMR Studio for analytics use instances, straight handle fine-grained permissions for the company customers and teams utilizing Lake Formation, and audit their knowledge entry.
Answer overview
For our use case, we need to allow an information analyst person named analyst1 to make use of their very own enterprise credentials to question knowledge they’ve been granted permissions to and audit their knowledge entry. We use Okta because the IdP for this demonstration. The next diagram illustrates the answer structure.
