### Specifying an IAM Profile

:::info New in dbt v0.18.0
The `iam_profile` config option for Redshift profiles is new in dbt v0.18.0
:::

When the `iam_profile` configuration is set, dbt will use the specified profile from your `~/.aws/config` file instead of using the profile name `default`
## Redshift notes

Where possible, dbt enables the use of `sort` and `dist` keys. See the section on [Redshift specific configurations](redshift-configs).
