Granting and Revoking Data Catalog Permissions

Grant Data Catalog permissions in AWS Lake Formation to enable principals to create and manage Data Catalog resources, and to access underlying data.

You can grant Data Catalog permissions to both metadata databases and metadata tables. You can grant permissions to principals in the same AWS account, or to external accounts or organizations. When you grant permissions to external accounts or organizations, you must include the grant option. Only the data lake administrator in the external account can access the shared resources until the administrator grants permissions on the shared resources to other principals in the account.
