User permissions
In order to grant rudol the necessary permissions to fetch your database metadata we recommend you to create a new Amazon Redshift user with access restricted only to the database objects you want to integrate with rudol.
Keep in mind that the created user would have the public Role by default so it will inherit its default permissions
Here is a sample code to create a new user for rudol with minimal permissions for metadata scan:
CREATE USER rudol_user PASSWORD 'My-super-secret-password';
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA my_schema TO rudol_user;
If you want to use Data Quality features these permissions won't be enough: you'll have to grant SELECT to each table you'd like to run tests for, and CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE to run validations without locking tables.
Restrict connections by IP Address
You can also restrict access to only accept incoming connections from the rudol public IP Address 52.6.101.83.
