Amazon DynamoDB announces general availability of attribute-based access control
News
This article announces the general availability of attribute-based access control (ABAC) support for Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes across all AWS commercial regions and AWS GovCloud (US) regions. ABAC allows defining access permissions based on tags attached to users, roles, and AWS resources.
Specifically, the article covers:
- ABAC allows using tag-based conditions in IAM policies to allow or deny specific actions on DynamoDB tables and indexes based on matching tags
- ABAC enables setting more granular access permissions based on organizational structures
- ABAC automatically applies tag-based permissions to new employees and changing resource structures as organizations grow
- There is no additional cost for using ABAC with DynamoDB
- ABAC can be used via AWS Management Console, AWS APIs, CLI, SDKs, or CloudFormation
