Today, AWS announces the general availability of named LF-Tag expressions in AWS Lake Formation. With this launch, customers can create and manage named combinations of LF-Tags. With Named LF-Tag expressions, customers can now create permission expressions that better represent complex business requirements in permissions.
Customers use LF-Tags to create complex data grants based on attributes and want to manage the combination of LF-Tags. Now, when customers want to grant the same combination of LF-Tags to multiple users, they can create a named LF-Tag expression and grant that expression to multiple users rather than providing the full expression for every grant. Additionally, changes in a customer’s LF-Tag ontology, for example for changes in business requirements, means customers can update a single expression instead of all permissions that used the changed LF-Tags.
Named LF-Tag expressions are generally available in commercial AWS Regions where AWS Lake Formation is available and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
To get started with this feature, visit the AWS Lake Formation documentation.
