Are you able to hide tables in a database using Lake Formation Tagging

Question

Hi,

I have a database with around 40 tables. However, some end users don't need to see all tables in the database. I'm using Lake Formation Tagging and know that if a tag is added to the database that the tag is then inherited by all the tables. I also found by going into the table that the inherited tags can't be removed.

I tried adding a tag to just the table level and granting permissions but the database won't appear as the tag is only at the table level.

Is there a way to hide certain tables in a database by using Lake Formation Tagging?

Answer

You can't hide the table, however you can restrict access to table within database using lake formation tag based access control. In simplest terms follow below steps - 
1. Define Tag at Database level 
2. Define Tag at Table Level 
3. Grant LF-tag permisions to specific IAM role/principal by using tags defined at database level and table level.
