Configure a Redshift Integration
Last updated
Last updated
In the Redshift integration, Immuta generates policy-enforced views in your configured Redshift schema for tables registered as Immuta data sources.
Use the /integrations endpoint to
APPLICATION_ADMIN Immuta permission
A Redshift cluster with an RA3 node is required for the multi-database integration. You must use a Redshift RA3 instance type because Immuta requires cross-database views, which are only supported in Redshift RA3 instance types. For other instance types, you may configure a single-database integration using one of the Redshift Spectrum options:
Configure the integration with an existing database that contains the external tables. In the steps below, specify an existing database in Redshift as the database in which Immuta will add the Immuta-managed schemas and views instead of creating a new database.
Create a new database as specified in the steps below, and then re-create all of your external tables in that database.
For automated installations, the credentials provided must be a Superuser or have the ability to create databases and users and modify grants.
Account used to configure or edit the integration must have the following Redshift permissions:
CREATE DATABASE
CREATE USER
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE
GRANT TEMP ON DATABASE
MANAGE GRANTS ON ACCOUNT
You have two options for configuring your Redshift integration:
Automatic setup: Grant Immuta one-time use of credentials to automatically configure your Redshift environment and the integration. When performing an automated installation, Immuta requires temporary, one-time use of credentials with the Redshift permissions listed in the requirements section.
These privileges will be used to create and configure a new Immuta-managed database within the specified Redshift instance. The credentials are not stored or saved by Immuta, and Immuta doesn’t retain access to them after initial setup is complete.
You can create a new account for Immuta to use that has these privileges, or you can grant temporary use of a pre-existing account. By default, the pre-existing account with appropriate privileges is a Superuser. If you create a new account, it can be deleted after initial setup is complete.
Manual setup: Run the Immuta script in your Redshift environment yourself to configure your Redshift environment and the integration. The specified role used to run the bootstrap needs to have the Redshift permissions listed in the requirements section.
