Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse now supports attribute-based access control (ABAC) with AWS Lake Formation, using IAM principals and session tags for simplified data access and maintenance.
Attribute-based access control (ABAC) in SageMaker Lakehouse allows organizations to create dynamic access control policies based on business attributes associated with user identities.
SageMaker Lakehouse provides unified access to various data sources like Amazon S3, Redshift, DynamoDB, and supports querying using services like Redshift, Athena, EMR, and Glue.
ABAC offers flexibility in managing access rules, reducing administrative overhead by handling a smaller number of roles, and scalability for larger enterprises with numerous users and resources.
ABAC grants permissions based on user attributes and is context-driven, enabling administrators to restrict data access based on specific user attribute keys and values.
By using ABAC, organizations can reduce the number of roles required, grant access based on attributes like department or country, and easily create and maintain data access grants.
The implementation involves defining user attributes using IAM tags, setting access policies in Lake Formation, and granting permissions based on the predefined criteria.
The solution architecture includes defining attributes, setting up ABAC policies, and granting database and table permissions to users based on their attributes.
Users like data analysts, BI analysts, and data scientists can leverage ABAC in SageMaker Lakehouse for specific data access based on their roles and attributes.
The post demonstrates setting up ABAC for Example Retail Corp, granting specific data access permissions to different user personas, and utilizing analytics services like Athena, Redshift, and EMR.
