Amazon QuickSight now supports connection to Redshift data with an IAM role. By connecting to data in QuickSight with an IAM role, administrators can enhance data security by using fine-grained IAM access policies for Redshift data sources.
Administrators can get started by creating an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with permissions that will be applied when a QuickSight user or API call runs a query on the data source. The IAM role is then assigned to a Redshift data source. With this role, a QuickSight user or API call has the role’s fine-grained permissions applied when running a query on that data source.
This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where QuickSight is available. For more details, see Run queries as an IAM role in Amazon QuickSight.
