Table creation using Athena and cross account S3 bucket access

Question

I have a bucket 'X' in account 'A', I want to create a copy of the bucket in account 'B' using Athena. I already have a mapping defined in Athena of account 'B' where I can already access another bucket 'Y' of account 'A'. 
Now, when I'm using the query editor and running a new query ( where I have specified the location of the buckets of account 'A' & 'B') I'm getting errors and the table isn't getting created.
Also, is there any other way in which I can do this?

Hello Rajat

You can consider trying below steps:
1. Go to Lake formation Databases  go to the database and select it.

2.  After selecting the database, look for the `Actions` dropdown menu and click on `Grant on Target`.

3. In the `Grant on Target` dialog, select the database and grant the `Create Table` or other necessary permissions.
