Amazon QuickSight launches custom access to capabilities based on roles

Posted On: Nov 17, 2023

Amazon QuickSight launches custom permissions support for roles to restrict QuickSight functionality for users based on their role in the account (Reader, Author, Admin.) This feature is supported with all QuickSight identity types, including IAM Identity Center.

Administrators can address various account level governance requirements with this new feature. For example, they can remove the ability to create data sources and datasets for authors in the account if administrators are the only users that should be allowed to create these asset types.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon QuickSight is available.

To get started, see Customizing access to the Amazon QuickSight console.
