# Amazon Athena

Integrate, catalog, and govern Amazon Athena assets in Atlan.

## Setup options

- [Set up Amazon Athena](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/set-up-amazon-athena/llms.txt): Learn about set up amazon athena.
- [Choose how Atlan connects to Amazon Athena](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/choose-how-atlan-connects-to-amazon-athena/llms.txt): Pick the right AWS identity type and network path for Atlan to connect to Amazon Athena - IAM access keys, IAM role delegation, or either with AWS PrivateLink.
- [Connect with IAM role (recommended)](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/connect-with-an-iam-role/llms.txt): Set up cross-account IAM role delegation so Atlan connects to Amazon Athena with temporary credentials and no stored secret.
- [Connect with IAM access keys](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/connect-with-iam-access-keys/llms.txt): The fastest path to connect Atlan to Amazon Athena - create a dedicated IAM user, attach the Atlan policy, and paste its access keys into Atlan.
- [Permissions & S3 results bucket](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/permissions-and-the-s3-results-bucket/llms.txt): The complete permission surface an Amazon Athena connection needs - including Lake Formation, KMS, and the S3 results bucket that cause most "test passed, crawl failed" issues.
- [Special cases](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/special-cases/llms.txt): Amazon Athena special cases - PrivateLink, cross-account Glue catalogs, cross-region sources, very large catalogs, and multiple Atlan tenants.
- [Set up a private network link to Amazon Athena](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/amazon-athena/set-up-a-private-network-link-to-amazon-athena/llms.txt): :::warning Who can do this? You will need your Amazon Athena or AWS administrator involved - you may not have access yourself to complete these steps.

## Crawl and mine
