AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate (DEA-C01) — Question 57

A data engineer needs to use an Amazon QuickSight dashboard that is based on Amazon Athena queries on data that is stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. When the data engineer connects to the QuickSight dashboard, the data engineer receives an error message that indicates insufficient permissions.
Which factors could cause to the permissions-related errors? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. There is no connection between QuickSight and Athena.
• B. The Athena tables are not cataloged.
• C. QuickSight does not have access to the S3 bucket.
• D. QuickSight does not have access to decrypt S3 data.
• E. There is no IAM role assigned to QuickSight.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, indicate that QuickSight is either unable to access the S3 bucket or does not have the necessary permissions to decrypt the data stored there. Options A and B are not relevant as they pertain to connectivity and data cataloging, which do not directly cause permissions errors. Option E is also incorrect as QuickSight can function without an IAM role if it has sufficient permissions through other means.
