Accessing QuickSight via an assumed IAM role

Question & Answer

Hi,

I am currently setting up users to access QuickSight via assumed IAM Roles and session ID’s.

While I understand that users can log in to the AWS Console, assume the role and then navigate to QuickSight via the services list, is there any other way to access QuickSight more directly?

Thanks

Hi ,
Are the users are using logging into aws using a link ( eg below )? :

https://aws-account-id.signin.aws.amazon.com/console

I believe in this scenario since users are federating into Amazon QuickSight, the access is through the AWS console services list.

Yes, they are using an SSO link to sign into the console, via federation.

If it is an SSO link , depending upon the identity provider, QuickSight does identity federation and SSO

Using external identity federation and single sign-on with Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight

You could configure SSO to directly navigate to QuickSight ( IDP to QuickSight )
