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 Using Amazon Aurora delegated extension support for PostgreSQL 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 Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
