Access to workgroups and tags

A workgroup is a resource managed by Athena. Therefore, if your workgroup policy uses actions that take `workgroup` as an input, you must specify the workgroup's ARN as follows, where `workgroup-name` is the name of your workgroup:

```
"Resource": [arn:aws:athena:region:AWSAcctID:workgroup/workgroup-name]
```

For example, for a workgroup named `test_workgroup` in the `us-west-2` region for Amazon Web Services account `123456789012`, specify the workgroup as a resource using the following ARN:

```
"Resource":["arn:aws:athena:us-east-2:123456789012:workgroup/test_workgroup"]
```

To access trusted identity propagation (TIP) enabled workgroups, IAM Identity Center users must be assigned to the `IdentityCenterApplicationArn` that is returned by the response of the Athena [GetWorkGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/APIReference/API_GetWorkGroup.html) API action.

Whenever you use IAM policies, make sure that you follow IAM best practices. For more information, see [Security best practices in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html) in the *IAM User Guide*.
