Access to Secret Manager Key in Different AWS Account

Q&A

Hi all,

My organization has two AWS accounts, Account A and Account B.

  • Account A owns a Redshift cluster and stores its connection credentials in AWS Secrets Manager.

  • Account B needs to create a QuickSight data source that connects to Account A’s Redshift cluster using the secret stored in Account A.

I know that QuickSight can connect to cross-account data sources, but I haven’t found clear documentation on whether it can also access a secret stored in another account.

Could someone confirm if this is possible and, if so, share the best way to configure it?

Thanks!

Hi @nefimova

Please refer to the following documentation for guidance on setting up and managing resource policies in AWS Secrets Manager and AWS KMS. Ensuring that all necessary permissions are correctly granted in both Secrets Manager and KMS will help ensure secure and successful integration.
