I’m trying to add a new user as a reader in order to view my dashboard. The new reader does not have both the aws account and a quicksight account. After I send a invite to them, they are asked to enter new password, after that they’re asked to sign in to my account using their username. After that they’re sent to aws sign in screen. I’m not able to figure out how to proceed with this.
Hi @maitreya10 - Once the user is registered and password has been reset, just try the link - https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com and give the account name and credential details. Hope this will fix your issue.

@Sanjeeb2022 Which account name and credentials? The one which sent them the invite?
Hi @maitreya10 - When you have created QuickSight account, ideally you should provided the name of the account. You can get details by logging to QuickSight and top right side.

@Sanjeeb2022 Yes I know that, what I’m asking is once the reader gets the invitation email, he gets a username and is asked to set a new password, after setting the password, what should he/she do?
Hi @maitreya10 - The reader needs to follow below step.
- Click on the URL - https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com . This is a generic URL for QuickSight.
- Give the account name and click next.
- Give the user name and password.
Then it should open the QuickSight home page.

@Sanjeeb2022 Thanks, it worked perfectly. One point I’d like to add is, as a reader the account name is the one which sent you the invitation email.
Cool. Thanks for the details @maitreya10
