## Configuring Lake Formation
1214
You can configure Lake Formation using the [`IAMAllowedPrincipals` group](#configuring-lake-formation-using-the-iamallowedprincipals-group) or by [using IAM policies for access control](#configuring-lake-formation-using-iam-policies). Configuring Lake Formation using the `IAMAllowedPrincipals` group is an easier method, recommended for those exploring Lake Formation. Setting up using IAM policies for access control is a more advanced setup option, recommended for those who want additional customization options.
