# AWS::LakeFormation::Permissions
<a name="aws-resource-lakeformation-permissions"></a>

The `AWS::LakeFormation::Permissions` resource represents the permissions that a principal has on an AWS Glue Data Catalog resource (such as AWS Glue database or AWS Glue tables). When you upload a permissions stack, the permissions are granted to the principal and when you remove the stack, the permissions are revoked from the principal. If you remove a stack, and the principal does not have the permissions referenced in the stack then AWS Lake Formation will throw an error because you can’t call revoke on non-existing permissions. To successfully remove the stack, you’ll need to regrant those permissions and then remove the stack. 

**Note**  
New versions of AWS Lake Formation permission resources are now available. For more information, see: [AWS:LakeFormation::PrincipalPermissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-lakeformation-principalpermissions.html)
