Options¶

--catalog-id (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, the account ID. The Data Catalog is the persistent metadata store. It contains database definitions, table definitions, and other control information to manage your Lake Formation environment.

--principal (structure)

The principal to be granted the permissions on the resource. Supported principals are IAM users or IAM roles, and they are defined by their principal type and their ARN.

Note that if you define a resource with a particular ARN, then later delete, and recreate a resource with that same ARN, the resource maintains the permissions already granted.

DataLakePrincipalIdentifier -> (string)

An identifier for the Lake Formation principal.

Shorthand Syntax:

DataLakePrincipalIdentifier=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "DataLakePrincipalIdentifier": "string"
}

--resource (structure)

The resource to which permissions are to be granted. Resources in Lake Formation are the Data Catalog, databases, and tables.

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, the account ID. The Data Catalog is the persistent metadata store. It contains database definitions, table definitions, and other control information to manage your Lake Formation environment.

Database -> (structure)

The database for the resource. Unique to the Data Catalog. A database is a set of associated table definitions organized into a logical group. You can Grant and Revoke database permissions to a principal.

CatalogId -> (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, it is the account ID of the caller.

Name -> (string)

CatalogId -> (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, it is the account ID of the caller.

DatabaseName -> (string)

The name of the database for the table with columns resource. Unique to the Data Catalog. A database is a set of associated table definitions organized into a logical group. You can Grant and Revoke database privileges to a principal.

Name -> (string)

The name of the table resource. A table is a metadata definition that represents your data. You can Grant and Revoke table privileges to a principal.

ColumnNames -> (list)

The list of column names for the table. At least one of ColumnNames or ColumnWildcard is required.

(string)

ColumnWildcard -> (structure)

A wildcard specified by a ColumnWildcard object. At least one of ColumnNames or ColumnWildcard is required.

ExcludedColumnNames -> (list)

Excludes column names. Any column with this name will be excluded.

(string)

DataLocation -> (structure)

The location of an Amazon S3 path where permissions are granted or revoked.

CatalogId -> (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog where the location is registered with Lake Formation. By default, it is the account ID of the caller.

ResourceArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the data location resource.

DataCellsFilter -> (structure)

A data cell filter.

TableCatalogId -> (string)

The ID of the catalog to which the table belongs.

DatabaseName -> (string)

A database in the Glue Data Catalog.

TableName -> (string)

The name of the table.

Name -> (string)

The name of the data cells filter.

LFTag -> (structure)

The LF-tag key and values attached to a resource.

CatalogId -> (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, the account ID. The Data Catalog is the persistent metadata store. It contains database definitions, table definitions, and other control information to manage your Lake Formation environment.

TagKey -> (string)

The key-name for the LF-tag.

TagValues -> (list)

A list of possible values an attribute can take.

(string)

LFTagPolicy -> (structure)

A list of LF-tag conditions that define a resource’s LF-tag policy.

CatalogId -> (string)

The identifier for the Data Catalog. By default, the account ID. The Data Catalog is the persistent metadata store. It contains database definitions, table definitions, and other control information to manage your Lake Formation environment.

ResourceType -> (string)

The resource type for which the LF-tag policy applies.

Expression -> (list)

A list of LF-tag conditions that apply to the resource’s LF-tag policy.

(structure)

A structure that allows an admin to grant user permissions on certain conditions. For example, granting a role access to all columns that do not have the LF-tag ‘PII’ in tables that have the LF-tag ‘Prod’.

TagKey -> (string)

The key-name for the LF-tag.

TagValues -> (list)

A list of possible values an attribute can take.

--permissions (list)

The permissions granted to the principal on the resource. Lake Formation defines privileges to grant and revoke access to metadata in the Data Catalog and data organized in underlying data storage such as Amazon S3. Lake Formation requires that each principal be authorized to perform a specific task on Lake Formation resources.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  ALL
  SELECT
  ALTER
  DROP
  DELETE
  INSERT
  DESCRIBE

  CREATE_TAG
  ALTER_TAG
  DELETE_TAG
  DESCRIBE_TAG
  ASSOCIATE_TAG

--permissions-with-grant-option (list)

Indicates a list of the granted permissions that the principal may pass to other users. These permissions may only be a subset of the permissions granted in the Privileges .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
