== Authorize access to AWS Glue

ifdef::env-cloud[]
For BYOC clusters created in March 2026 or later, the required AWS Glue IAM policy is automatically provisioned and attached to the Redpanda broker role when Iceberg is enabled. You don't need to manually create IAM policies or roles for Glue access.

For clusters created before March 2026, you must run `rpk byoc apply` to provision the Glue IAM policy before enabling Iceberg. This is a one-time operation that updates the broker role with the necessary Glue permissions.

@simon0191 Is this correct -- Cloud users won't have to do anything special for IAM, so the lines that follow this should display for Self-managed only?

You must allow Redpanda access to AWS Glue services in your AWS account. You can use the same access credentials that you configured for S3 (IAM role, access keys, and KMS key), as long as you have also added read and write access to AWS Glue Data Catalog.

For example, you could create a separate IAM policy that manages access to AWS Glue and attach it to the IAM role that Redpanda also uses to access S3. Add all AWS Glue API actions in the policy (`"glue:*"`) on the following resources:

You must configure credentials for the AWS Glue Data Catalog integration using the following properties:
You can configure credentials for the AWS Glue Data Catalog integration in either of the following ways:

* config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_credentials_source,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_credentials_source`] set to `config_file`
* config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_access_key,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_access_key`]
* config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_secret_key,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_secret_key`], added as a secret value (see the <<update-cluster-configuration,next section>> for details)
* config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_region,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_region`]
* Allow Redpanda to use the same `cloud_storage_*` credential properties already configured for S3. If you do not configure the overrides listed below, Redpanda uses the same credentials for both S3 and AWS Glue. This is the recommended approach, especially in BYOC deployments where the broker's IAM role already includes the necessary Glue permissions.
* If you want to configure authentication to AWS Glue separately from authentication to S3, there are equivalent credential configuration properties named `iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_*` that override the object storage credentials. These properties only apply to REST catalog authentication, and never to S3 authentication:
** config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_credentials_source,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_credentials_source`] overrides config_ref:cloud_storage_credentials_source,true,properties/cluster-properties[`cloud_storage_credentials_source`]. To use the broker's IAM role, set the property to `aws_instance_metadata`. To use static credentials, set to `config_file`.
** config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_access_key,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_access_key`] (static credentials only)
** config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_secret_key,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_secret_key`] (static credentials only), added as a secret value (see the <<update-cluster-configuration,next section>> for details)

- `<glue-region>`: The AWS region where your Data Catalog is located. The region in the AWS Glue endpoint must match the region specified in your config_ref:iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_region,true,properties/cluster-properties[`iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_region`] property.
- `<bucket-name>` and `<warehouse-path>`: AWS Glue requires you to specify the base location where Redpanda stores Iceberg data and metadata files. You must use an S3 URI; for example, `s3://<bucket-name>/iceberg`. As a security best practice, Redpanda Data recommends specifying a subfolder (using prefixes) rather than the root of the bucket.
- `<glue-access-key>`: The AWS access key ID for your Glue service account.
- `<glue-secret-key-name>`: The name of the secret that stores the AWS secret access key for your Glue service account. To reference a secret in a cluster property, for example `iceberg_rest_catalog_aws_secret_key`, you must first xref:manage:iceberg/use-iceberg-catalogs.adoc#store-a-secret-for-rest-catalog-authentication[store the secret value].
- `<bucket-name>` and `<warehouse-path>`: AWS Glue requires you to specify the base location where Redpanda stores Iceberg data and metadata files. You must use an S3 URI; for example, `s3://<bucket-name>/iceberg`. For BYOC clusters, the bucket name is `redpanda-cloud-storage-<cluster-id>`. For BYOVPC clusters, use the name of the bucket you created as a customer-managed resource.

@simon0191 Could you confirm that this is OK to add here, and should we update the table in this doc as well?
