AWS athena medium security documentation change
Summary
Updated TPC-DS connector documentation to state it can now be registered with Glue Data Catalog as a federated catalog and supports Lake Formation data access controls
Security assessment
The change adds explicit support for Lake Formation data access controls at multiple levels (catalog, database, table, column, row, tag), which directly relates to security authorization mechanisms. This enables finer-grained security controls where previously unsupported.
