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
  • CREATE_S3_DATASOURCE Immuta permission to register S3 data sources

  • The AWS account credentials or optional AWS IAM role you provide Immuta when configuring the integration must

    • have ownership of the buckets Immuta will enforce policies on

    • have the following permissions to create locations and issue grants:

      • s3:CreateAccessGrant
      • s3:CreateAccessGrantsLocation
      • s3:DeleteAccessGrant
      • s3:DeleteAccessGrantsLocation
      • s3:GetAccessGrant
      • s3:GetAccessGrantsInstance
      • s3:GetAccessGrantsInstanceForPrefix
      • s3:GetAccessGrantsInstanceResourcePolicy
      • s3:GetAccessGrantsLocation
      • s3:ListAccessGrants
      • s3:ListAccessGrantsInstances
      • s3:ListAccessGrantsLocations
      • iam:PassRole
      • iam:GetRole

Set up S3 Access Grants instance

  1. 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.

  2. Follow the instructions at the top of the "Register a location" page in AWS documentation to create an AWS IAM role and 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 AWS documentation linked above gives a complete policy example, but your policy should include the following permissions:

    • sts:AssumeRole
    • sts:SetSourceIdentity
    • sts:SetContext

  3. 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 AWS documentation linked above gives a complete example, but the policy should at least include the following permissions:

    • 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:passRole

    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

  4. 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.

Configure the integration in Immuta

This request configures the integration using the AWS access key authentication method.

curl -X 'POST' \
    'https://www.organization.immuta.com/integrations' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: 846e9e43c86a4ct1be14290d95127d13f' \
    -d '{
    "type": "Native S3",
    "autoBootstrap": false,
    "config": {
      "name": "S3 integration",
      "awsAccountId": "123456789",
      "awsRegion": "us-east-1",
      "awsLocationRole": "arn:aws:iam::123456789:role/access-grants-instance-role",
      "awsLocationPath": "s3://",
      "authenticationType": "accessKey",
      "awsAccessKeyId": "123456789",
      "awsSecretAccessKey": "123456789"
    }
    }'
  1. Copy the request example. The example uses JSON format, but the request also accepts YAML.
  2. Replace the Immuta URL and API key with your own.

  3. 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.
    • awsSecretAccessKey is the AWS secret access key of the AWS account configuring the integration.

This request configures the integration using the automatic authentication method, which searches and obtains credentials using the AWS SDK's default credential provider chain. This method requires a configured IAM role for a service account and is only supported if you're using a self-managed deployment of Immuta. Work with your Immuta representative to customize your deployment and set up an IAM role for a service account that can give Immuta the credentials to set up the integration.
