Today, Amazon Quick is announcing cross-account access for Amazon Athena data sources. This launch enables you to query Athena data residing in a different AWS account(s) from your Quick deployment using IAM role chaining, with Athena query costs billed to the account where the data lives.
With this feature, administrators can create an Athena data source in Quick by specifying a RunAsRole in the Quick account and a ConsumerAccountRoleArn in the target account where Athena resources reside. Quick uses a role chaining mechanism first assuming the RunAsRole, then chaining into the consumer account role to execute queries. This launch supports multiple roles per consumer account(s), enabling fine-grained access segregation across teams within a single account.
This feature is now available in all supported Amazon Quick Sight regions here. For more details, read our blog post.
