AWS Quick announced general availability of structured data connector restrictions on Nov 12, 2026. The new custom‑permissions feature lets administrators decide which data source types users may create, update, or share. For example, a team can permit Amazon Redshift connections while blocking file‑upload sources. Restrictions can be set separately for creating, updating, and sharing, and are configured through the Quick UI, APIs, or CLI in the Enterprise edition. The capability rolls out to all supported AWS Quick regions.

## The facts

- General availability announced on 2026-11-12
- Feature works in Enterprise edition via UI, APIs, or CLI

## Why it matters

Data teams can enforce stricter governance without halting self‑service analytics, reducing risk of unauthorized data exposure.
