Automate replication of row-level security from AWS Lake Formation to Amazon QuickSight
Big Data Blog
This article provides a comprehensive guide to automating row-level security (RLS) replication from AWS Lake Formation to Amazon QuickSight. The solution enables organizations to maintain consistent data access controls across their data ecosystem.
- Developed a Lambda function to extract and transform data filters from AWS Lake Formation
- Creates a rules dataset in Amazon QuickSight that mirrors Lake Formation permissions
- Supports both direct query and SPICE datasets in QuickSight
- Works with group-level and user-level row-level security
- Allows dynamic updating of data access rules across different user groups
Key technical components include using AWS Lake Formation APIs to list data cell filters and permissions, transforming these into a QuickSight-compatible format, and storing the transformed rules in Amazon S3 for further processing.
