Configure an Amazon S3 Integration and Create an S3 Data Source

Private preview: The Amazon S3 integration is available to select accounts. Reach out to your Immuta representative for details.

The Amazon S3 resource allows you to create, configure, and manage your S3 integration. In this integration, Immuta provides coarse-grained access controls for data in S3 by performing permission grants using the Access Grants API so that users don't have to manage individual IAM policies themselves.

Use the /integrations endpoint to

Requirements

S3 integration enabled in Immuta; contact your Immuta representative to enable this integration
Write policies private preview enabled for your account; contact your Immuta representative to get this feature enabled
No location is registered in your AWS Access Grants instance before configuring the integration in Immuta

Permissions

APPLICATION_ADMIN Immuta permission to configure the integration

The AWS account credentials or optional AWS IAM role you provide Immuta to configure the integration must
- have ownership of the buckets Immuta will enforce policies on
- have the permissions to perform the following actions to create locations and issue grants:
  - accessgrantslocation resource:
    s3:CreateAccessGrant
    s3:DeleteAccessGrantsLocation
    s3:GetAccessGrantsLocation
    s3:UpdateAccessGrantsLocation
  - accessgrantsinstance resource:
    s3:CreateAccessGrantsInstance

    s3:GetAccessGrant
  - bucket resource: s3:ListBucket
  - role resource:
    iam:GetRole
    iam:PassRole
  - all resources: s3:ListAccessGrantsInstances

Set up S3 Access Grants instance

Follow AWS documentation to create an Access Grants instance using the S3 console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or the REST API. AWS supports one Access Grants instance per region per AWS account.
Follow the instructions at the top of the "Register a location" page in AWS documentation to create an AWS IAM role and edit the trust policy to give the S3 Access Grants service principal access to this role in the resource policy file. You will add this role to your integration configuration in Immuta so that Immuta can register this role with your Access Grants location. The policy should include at least the following permissions, but might need additional permissions depending on other local setup factors. An example trust policy is provided below.
- sts:AssumeRole
- sts:SetSourceIdentity

IAM role trust policy example

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1234567891011",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service":"access-grants.s3.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": [
        "sts:AssumeRole", 
        "sts:SetSourceIdentity"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Follow the instructions at the top of the "Register a location" page in AWS documentation to create an IAM policy with the following permissions, and attach the policy to the IAM role you created to grant the permissions to the role. The policy should include the following permissions. An example policy is provided below.

s3:GetObject
s3:GetObjectVersion
s3:GetObjectAcl
s3:GetObjectVersionAcl
s3:ListMultipartUploadParts
s3:PutObject
s3:PutObjectAcl
s3:PutObjectVersionAcl
s3:DeleteObject
s3:DeleteObjectVersion
s3:AbortMultipartUpload
s3:ListBucket
s3:ListAllMyBuckets

IAM policy example

Replace <bucket_arn> in the example below with the ARN of the bucket scope that contains data you want to grant access to.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "ObjectLevelReadPermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:GetObjectVersion",
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetObjectVersionAcl",
                "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                <bucket arn>
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "ObjectLevelWritePermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl",
                "s3:PutObjectVersionAcl",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:DeleteObjectVersion",
                "s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                <bucket arn>
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "BucketLevelReadPermissions",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                <bucket arn>
            ]
        }
    ]
}

If you use server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys to encrypt your data, the following permissions are required for the IAM role in the policy. If you do not use this feature, do not include these permissions in your IAM policy:

kms:Decrypt
kms:GenerateDataKey

Opt to create an AWS IAM role that Immuta can use to create Access Grants locations and issue grants. This role must have the S3 permissions listed in the permissions section. An example policy is provided below.

IAM policy example

Replace <role_arn> and <access_grants_instance_arn> in the example below with the ARNs of the role you created and your Access Grants instance, respectively. The Access Grants instance resource ARN should be scoped to apply to any future locations that will be created under this Access Grants instance. For example, "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:us-east-2:6********499:access-grants/default*" ensures that the role would have permissions for both of these locations:

arn:aws:s3:us-east-2:6********499:access-grants/default/newlocation1
arn:aws:s3:us-east-2:6********499:access-grants/default/newlocation2

Copy the request example. The example uses JSON format, but the request also accepts YAML.
Replace the Immuta URL and API key with your own.
Change the config values to your own, where
- name is the name for the integration that is unique across all Amazon S3 integrations configured in Immuta.
- awsAccountId is the ID of your AWS account.
- awsRegion is the account's AWS region (such as us-east1).
- awsLocationRole is the AWS IAM role ARN assigned to the base access grants location. This is the role the AWS Access Grants service assumes to vend credentials to the grantee.
- awsLocationPath is the base S3 location prefix that Immuta will use for this connection when registering S3 data sources. This path must be unique across all S3 integrations configured in Immuta.
- awsAccessKeyId is the AWS access key ID of the AWS account configuring the integration.

Create a data source

curl -X 'POST' \
    'https://<your-immuta-url.com>/native-s3/handler' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: <your-api-key>' \
    -d '{
    "type": "Native S3",
    "integrationId": <id-of-your-s3-integration>,
    "dataSources": [
      {
        "dataSourceName": "<name-of-data-source>",
        "prefix": "</data-source-prefix>"
      }
    ]
    }'

Copy the request example. The example uses JSON format, but the request also accepts YAML.
Replace the Immuta URL and API key with your own.
Change the integrationsID to the ID of your S3 integration. This ID can be retrieved with the GET /integrations request.
Change the dataSources values to your own, where
- dataSourceName is the name of your data source.
- prefix creates a data source for the prefix, bucket, or object provided in the path. If the data source prefix ends in a wildcard (), it protects all items starting with that prefix. If the data source prefix ends without a wildcard (), it protects a single object.

See the S3 data source payload description for parameter definitions and value types.

Response

The response returns the ID, name, and prefix of the data source. See the response schema reference for details about the response schema. An unsuccessful response returns the status code and an error message. See the HTTP status codes and error messages for a list of statuses, error messages, and troubleshooting guidance.
