How to grant users read only permission to Athena

0

My understanding is that the IAM action "athena:StartQueryExecution" is required to permit SQL queries to be run in Athena. However, it's still possible to perform INSERT INTO statements.

Is there a way to restrict access to Athena and only allow read-only queries?

Yes, it's possible if you use Lake Formation to grant access to your Athena users or roles. When you grant access to tables, just grant as SELECT only access previlages.
