Exam AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate DEA-C01 topic 1 question 75 discussion

C and D https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/troubleshoot-athena-insufficient-permissions.html E is incorrect because it will result in authentication/authorization error, not insufficient permission error.

C. QuickSight does not have access to the S3 bucket: Amazon QuickSight needs to have the necessary permissions to access the S3 bucket where the data resides. If QuickSight lacks the permissions to read the data from the S3 bucket, it would result in an error indicating insufficient permissions. D. QuickSight does not have access to decrypt S3 data: If the data in S3 is encrypted, QuickSight needs permissions to use the necessary keys to decrypt the data. Without access to the decryption keys, typically managed by AWS Key Management Service (KMS), QuickSight cannot read the encrypted data and would give an error.

QuickSight requires explicit permission to connect to Athena This connection must be established during QuickSight setup Without this connection, QuickSight cannot execute Athena queries Results in permissions-related errors

C. QuickSight does not have access to the S3 bucket. Amazon QuickSight needs to have the necessary permissions to access the Amazon S3 bucket where the data is stored. If these permissions are not correctly configured, QuickSight will not be able to access the data, resulting in an error. E. There is no IAM role assigned to QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles to access AWS resources. If QuickSight is not assigned an IAM role, or if the assigned role does not have the necessary permissions, QuickSight will not be able to access the resources it needs, leading to an error.

C and D

The two most likely factors causing the permissions-related errors are: C. QuickSight does not have access to the S3 bucket. To access data from an S3 bucket, QuickSight needs explicit S3 permissions. This is typically handled through an IAM role associated with the QuickSight service. D. QuickSight does not have access to decrypt S3 data. If the data in S3 is encrypted (e.g., using KMS), QuickSight must have the necessary permissions to decrypt the data using the relevant KMS key. Let's analyze why the other options are less likely the primary culprits: E. There is no IAM role assigned to QuickSight. QuickSight needs an IAM role for overall functionality. A missing role would likely cause broader service failures, not specific data access errors.

I think the assumptions in the problem are insufficient. If the data is encrypted, then D can be the correct answer, but if not, then E is the correct answer.
