Federate to Amazon Redshift Query Editor v2 with Microsoft Entra ID
- Amazon Redshift is a fast, petabyte-scale, cloud data warehouse that tens of thousands of customers rely on to power their analytics workloads.
- AWS provides the Amazon Redshift Query Editor V2, a web-based tool that allows you to explore, analyze, and share data using SQL.
- The Query Editor V2 offers a user-friendly interface for connecting to your Redshift clusters, executing queries, and visualizing results.
- Many customers have already implemented identity providers (IdPs) like Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for single sign-on (SSO) access across their applications and services.
- Through this federated setup, users can connect to the Redshift Query Editor using their existing Microsoft Entra ID credentials, allowing you to control permissions for database objects based on business groups defined in your Active Directory.
- In the following sections, we explore the process of federating into AWS using Microsoft Entra ID and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), and how to restrict access to datasets based on permissions linked to AD groups.
- You use the federation metadata file to configure the IAM IdP in a later step.
- In IAM, an IdP represents a trusted external authentication service like Microsoft Entra ID that supports SAML 2.0, allowing AWS to recognize user identities authenticated by that service.
- Next, you create an IAM role for SAML-based federation, which will be used to grant access to the Redshift Query Editor and Redshift cluster.
- In this post, we demonstrated how to use Microsoft Entra ID to federate into your AWS account and use the Redshift Query Editor V2 to connect to a Redshift cluster and access the schemas based on the AD groups associated with the user.
