  1. The customer DBA logs on to the database and creates an AUTHORIZATION object with using the customer’s IAM role information.
    CREATE AUTHORIZATION Finance_Auth
    USING
    AUTHSERVICETYPE 'ASSUME_ROLE'
    ROLENAME 'arn:aws:iam::158228458290:role/finance-dept--role'
    EXTERNALID '7b50f73c-8224-4143-86f0-9541a9938f34';
  2. The customer DBA creates a DATALAKE database object that references the AUTHORIZATION object configured in the previous step. Two important points to highlight in the USING clause are as follows: lakeformation_enabled is set to true, and lakeformation_authorized_caller_session_tag is assigned the string defined during the Lake Formation integration for the external engine.
    CREATE DATALAKE Finance_Datalake
    EXTERNAL SECURITY CATALOG Finance_Auth,
    EXTERNAL SECURITY STORAGE Finance_Auth
    USING
    catalog_type ('glue')
    storage_location ('s3://jpmc-poc/')
    storage_region ('us-west-2’)
    lakeformation_enabled(‘true’)
    lakeformation_authorized_caller_session_tag(‘vcl_tdotf’)
    TABLE FORMAT iceberg ;
  3. Customer DBA grants the following permissions on the AUTHORIZATION and DATALAKE to database users/roles.
    Grant EXECUTE ON Finance_Auth TO <user/role>;
    Grant SELECT ON TD_SERVER_DB.Finance_Datalake TO <user/role>;
At this point, database users with access to DATALAKE can run OTF HELP and SELECT queries.
