Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition now supports the rds_extension database role which provides a cluster administrator the ability to delegate create, alter, or drop extension operations to lower privileged users. The cluster administrator can use the new rds.allowed_delegated_extensions DB parameter to limit which extensions a member of the rds_extension role can manage. To get started, take a look at our Working with extensions and foreign data wrappers page.

Delegation of extension management using the rds_extension role is available on Aurora PostgreSQL 15.5, 14.10, 13.13, 12.17 and higher in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at a global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services.
