AWS – Amazon SageMaker Catalog introduces authorization policy for asset type usage
Amazon SageMaker Catalog, part of the next generation of SageMaker, now supports authorization policies for asset type (template) usage — a new governance capability that gives organizations fine-grained control over who can create and manage custom assets using specific asset type. In large enterprises, teams often define business specific asset templates (such as ClinicalStudyAsset or FinancialReportAsset) to standardize how data is structured, cataloged for discovery, and governed across the organization.
With this authorization policy-based control, organizations can enforce usage boundaries, allowing administrators to restrict the use of sensitive or proprietary templates to only authorized projects and users. For example, a life sciences organization admin can ensure that only R&D teams can use ClinicalStudyAsset asset types to publish clinical trial datasets, while a financial services firm can limit FinancialReportAsset asset types to audit or compliance teams. This streamlines asset creation while reducing duplication, preventing mismanagement, and maintaining governance boundaries across business units—ensuring that sensitive templates are used only by the right users in a secure and compliant manner.
