To use the Redshift IAM role ARN, configure the Redshift IAM role ARN with the required trust policies to generate temporary security credentials to access Amazon Redshift.

You can use one of the following options to generate the temporary security credentials:

AWS configurations	Connection details
Option 1. Configure an AssumeRole to enable an IAM user.	To use the AssumeRole for the IAM user, specify the following IAM user details: Redshift Access Key ID Redshift Secret Access Key Redshift IAM Role ARN
Option 2. Define an EC2 instance to assume a Redshift IAM role.	To use the AssumeRole for Amazon EC2: Specify the Redshift IAM Role ARN value. Enable the Use EC2 Role to Assume Role check box.

For application ingestion and database ingestion tasks, use Option 2 to have an EC2 role assume the Redshift IAM role.
