Managing Access to QuickSight Resources
As part of the AWS Analytics Expert Series, Dylan is going to discuss managing resource access and permissions within QuickSight.
Hello, I'm Dylan, a cloud developer at West Loop Strategy, an AWS partner. As part of our AWS Analytics Expert series, we're going to discuss how to manage access to your QuickSight resources.
Throughout my time working with QuickSight, I have learned that making sure authors and admins have proper permissions to resources is super important and can save a lot of time if we are onboarding a new employee or you are working with a new company. You want to ensure that all necessary DataSources, Datasets, Analyses, and Dashboards are permission to that user correctly.
The easiest way to manage this is to properly document the resources you are working with. It doesn't take long before you start building up a large list of datasets and analyses that you are using for test cases or didn't end up becoming fully fleshed out dashboards. Make sure you have a list of your resources that you are using for production and know exactly what they are linked to. Once you are done with that, click on the manage assets tab within the manage QuickSight section of your application. This resource will be your best friend when trying to ensure that all users have appropriate access to any and all necessary resources. If you have an author who needs to be able to update the queries of your custom SQL datasets, here is the place to do it. If you want to ensure that someone in the marketing department has access to the necessary analysis to customize any copy, font styles or colors that can also be done here or if you need to make sure dashboards are permissioned to the appropriate reader groups. This is a good place for that as well. This view gives an administrator a very simple way to manage these resources and ensure they are permission according to the company standards.
