Simplified permissions for Amazon S3 Tables and Iceberg materialized views are now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS Glue Data Catalog IAM-based Authorization

AWS Glue Data Catalog now supports AWS IAM-based authorization for Amazon S3 Tables and Apache Iceberg materialized views. With IAM-based authorization, you can define all necessary permissions across storage, catalog, and query engines in a single IAM policy. This capability simplifies the integration of S3 Tables or materialized views with any AWS Analytics service, including Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, Amazon Redshift, and AWS Glue. You can also opt in to AWS Lake Formation at any time to manage fine-grained access controls using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, API, and AWS CloudFormation.

This feature is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.
