# Getting started with Amazon DataZone
<a name="getting-started"></a>

The information in this section helps you get started using Amazon DataZone. If you are new to Amazon DataZone, start by becoming familiar with the concepts and terminology presented in [Amazon DataZone terminology and concepts](datazone-concepts.md).

Before you begin the steps in either of these quickstart workflows, you must complete the procedures described in the [Setting Up](setting-up.md) section of this guide. If you are using a brand new AWS account, you must [configure permissions required to use the Amazon DataZone management console](create-iam-roles.md). If you are using an AWS account that has existing AWS Glue Data Catalog objects, you must also [configure Lake Formation permissions to Amazon DataZone](lake-formation-permissions-for-datazone.md).
