Learn how end users can access policy-enforced data in Amazon Redshift
Once data is registered through the Amazon Redshift connection, you will access your data through Amazon Redshift as you normally would. If you are subscribed to the data source, Immuta grants you access to the data in Amazon Redshift.
When you submit a query, the SQL client submits the query to Amazon Redshift, which then processes the query and determines what data your role is allowed to see. Then, Amazon Redshift queries the database and returns the query results to the SQL client, which then returns policy-enforced data to you.
The diagram below illustrates how Immuta, Amazon Redshift, and the SQL client interact when a user queries data registered in Immuta.
