Authentication method
The following methods can be used to manage authentication with AWS.
Credential Provider | Description |
|---|---|
Use a cross-account role (IAM role) | The Alteryx Analytics Cloud can use any IAM roles that have been defined for workspace members to access AWS data sources, such as S3 and Redshift. Sugerencia This credential provider method is recommended. |
Use access keys | You can apply key and secret access key combinations to gate access to AWS data sources. These access keys can be applied in workspace mode or in per-user mode by individual members. |
Use a Cross-Account Role - Create an IAM Policy
After you select a cross-account role, you must specify an IAM policy and apply it to the workspace.
Prerequisites:
Any IAM role in use must include a trust relationship for the Alteryx Analytics Cloud. For more information, see Insert Trust Relationship in AWS IAM Role.
If you want workspace members to be able to use the on-boarding walkthrough, they must have access to the Alteryx assets required for the walkthrough. For more information, see Required AWS Account Permissions.
