Control-plane actions (365)

By access level: 53 List, 36 Permissions management, 104 Read, 6 Tagging, 166 Write.

Data-plane actions (4)

By access level: 1 List, 2 Read, 1 Write.

Excluded and conditional actions

No patterns are excluded by NotAction or Deny statements.

Resource scope and attachment

Resource scope across granted actions: mixed.

Can be attached: Yes, to users, groups and roles.

Why this tier

• Grants at least 80% of the write and permissions-management actions of: glue (184 of 184).
• Grants data-plane write actions on a data store, but only for scoped resources or under conditions.
• Grants iam:PassRole, but only for scoped roles or under conditions (for example iam:PassedToService).

Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AWSGlueConsoleSageMakerNotebookFullAccess?

The AWS Glue Developer Guide says AWSGlueConsoleSageMakerNotebookFullAccess is typically attached to users of the AWS Glue console who manage SageMaker AI notebooks. Attach it to identities that need both, and consider AWSGlueConsoleFullAccess where notebooks are not needed.

What does AWSGlueConsoleSageMakerNotebookFullAccess grant?

It allows glue:* on all resources plus read and network actions for related services, s3:GetObject and s3:PutObject on two aws-glue-* resource patterns (one matches any bucket, for object keys with an aws-glue- path segment), SageMaker notebook instance and lifecycle configuration actions on aws-glue-* names, CloudFormation stack create and delete, EC2 instance launch and iam:PassRole for three AWSGlueService role name patterns.

What are the security risks of AWSGlueConsoleSageMakerNotebookFullAccess?

glue:* on all resources gives full control of AWS Glue, and the policy can create and delete SageMaker notebook instances, create CloudFormation stacks, launch EC2 instances and pass the named service roles. AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions, and you must consider the security risk of granting principals more permissions than they need. AWS updates to the policy affect every identity it is attached to.
