A data processing service receives indication that a recipient will request access to data assets of a provider and provides a request for credentials from a recipient governance module. The recipient governance module stores a recipient metastore including an object for a provider metastore. In response to determining that the assets are associated with the provider metastore, the service provides a request for credentials to a provider governance module. The provider governance module stores the provider metastore describing data assets of the provider and permissions for accessing data assets. The provider metastore includes a recipient object attached to the data assets with an identifier for the recipient metastore. In response to verifying that the recipient was provided access to the data assets, the service provides a token to the recipient governance module. The service then provides the token to a computing resource to provide access to the data assets.

Data asset sharing between accounts at a data processing service using cloud tokens

The present application discloses a method, system, and computer system for providing access to data. The method includes receiving, by a data manager service from a data requesting service, a request using an identifier for a high-level data object to access a set of data associated with the high-level data object, determining, by the data manager service, low-level data object(s) corresponding to the set of data based on the identifier for the high-level data object, determining whether a user associated with the request has permission to access at least a subset of the low-level data object(s), and in response to determining that the user associated has permission to access the at least the subset of the low-level data object(s), generating, by the data manager service, a uniform resource locator (URL) via which the at least the subset of the one or more low-level data objects is accessible by the user.
