Projects help a group of users collaborate with each other and produce business outcomes. Project members consume assets from the business data catalog using one or more analytical workflows and produce new assets using one or more analytical workflows. You can use data projects to manage and monitor data assets across projects through usage auditing capabilities. Only users who are explicitly added to the project can access the project's data and tools.

Data publishers bring all the assets into the inventory where other users can enrich the data with business context before the asset is shared. The seamless handshake between users is managed by the Amazon DataZone portal, an out-of-console experience that facilitates cross-functional collaboration while working with data and analytics tools in a self-service fashion. The portal uses existing credentials from your identity provider.

Leverage your choice of BI and analytics tools to analyze governed data effortlessly. Amazon DataZone supports authentication through the Athena JDBC Driver, enabling seamless access to your subscribed data lake assets. Connect with popular tools like Tableau, Domino, Power BI, Excel, SQL Workbench, DBeaver, and more for enhanced insights.

FAQ

How can users across my organization gain access to the Amazon DataZone portal?

When initially setting up Amazon DataZone, your administrators will use their AWS credentials to deploy the root domain and have the option to enable access to the root domain through AWS IAM Identity Center. Users can then access the Amazon DataZone portal with IAM or SSO credentials, helping them seamlessly access the portal using an existing identity provider. Existing users and groups can be assigned as data stewards or be associated with a specific project.
