Amazon Redshift supports federated permissions with IAM Identity Center in multiple AWS Regions

Amazon Redshift Federated Permissions with AWS IAM Identity Center

Amazon Redshift now supports federated permissions with AWS IAM Identity Center (IdC) in multiple AWS Regions. This allows you to extend IdC from your primary AWS Region to additional Regions for improved performance and reliability.

With this update, you can simplify administration of Redshift fine-grained access controls at the table and column level using existing workforce identities with IdC. When a new Region is added in IdC, you can create Redshift and Lake Formation Identity Center applications in the new Region without replicating identities from the primary Region.

Regardless of which warehouse is used for querying, row-level, column-level, and masking controls always apply automatically, delivering fine-grained access compliance. You can also access Amazon Redshift with single sign-on in these new Regions from Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Redshift Query Editor, or third-party SQL tools.

What to do

• Read the blog and documentation to get started with Redshift federated permissions using IdC.
• Read the IdC documentation, Redshift documentation, and Lake Formation documentation to extend IdC support in multiple regions.
• Check the region availability.
