The CREATE GROUP command can be used to create a brand new group in Amazon Redshift. The first step to adding a user to a group in Amazon Redshift is to create a group. In this section, we will see multiple examples of using the ALTER GROUP command to add or remove users from a group. It takes the new group name as an argument and changes the name of the group. It takes the user_name as an argument, which will be dropped from the group.Īs the name suggests, the RENAME TO option is used to change the name of the group in Amazon Redshift. Just like the ADD USER parameter, the DROP USER parameter is used when you want to drop a user from the group. ![]() The ADD USER parameter takes the user_name which will be added to the group. The ADD USER parameter is used when you want to add a user into the group using the ALTER GROUP command. externalid (text) The unique identifier of the role in the third-party identity provider. roleowner (text) The name of the role owner. The group_name parameter specifies the group in which you want to add or remove the users. It does not contain a lot of information, but gives you: roleid (integer) The role ID. The following are the parameters that can be used with the ALTER GROUP command to perform different actions on the group. Now we will discuss the parameters used with the ALTER GROUP command in Redshift. The syntax of the ALTER GROUP command to add or remove users from the group is as below.Īs the syntax of the command shows, we can perform the following operations using the ALTER GROUP command. In this blog, we will discuss how we can manage user permission by adding them into the group using the ALTER GROUP command. To add the user to a group, the ALTER GROUP command is used in Amazon Redshift. To assign the same permissions to multiple users, we create a group, assign the permissions to the group, and then add the users to the group to assign the same permissions to multiple users. Managing the permissions for every user individually becomes much more difficult when the number of users grows. User still needs specific table-level permissions for each table within the schema Create. After assigning the permission to the group, users are added to the group to assign the same permission to multiple users. Access Types Usage: Allows users to access objects in the schema. A group is created in Amazon Redshift and a specific permission policy is attached to that group. In this section, let’s take the multiple examples to fully understand the concept of creating a new user account in a Redshift cluster.The concept of users and groups in Redshift is very important to understand the permission management of users in Redshift. The user is authorized by an external identity provider instead of password, so the password must be disabled if this option is specified. The EXTERNALID option specifies the identifier for a new user that is linked with an external identity provider. By default, it is decided by the cluster. The session timeout range for a Redshift user is from one minute to 20 days. Normally you can Google it and find somebody elses script and away you go. This Option defines the maximum time in seconds that the session can remain inactive. Creating a read-only user is one of those simple tasks you do once in a blue moon. This option defines the maximum number of database connections that can be opened simultaneously by the user. By default, the new user password has no time limit and is valid forever. This option defines the absolute time after which a new user account password will no longer be valid. ![]() For this option, multiple group names may also be listed. ![]() This option defines the name of the group that the new user will belong to. But, it does not give the access of the superuser visible tables. If it is defined as unrestricted, the new user can view all the rows even if it is included by the other users. The new user’s access is restricted to the rows generated by itself in the user-visible system tables and views. It defines the level of access that a new user has on the Redshift tables.
