Till now I have been using QuickSight GUI to build analysis and publish the dashboard from there, adjust the permissions (disable visual menu, disable download options, sort options, etc) - the published dashboard is then embedded on my website. The dashboard is shared with different user groups.
I now want to shift to using AWS CLI. I have a template and have been successful to create analysis using the template. But I am not able to find a way to create the dashboard from analysis and publish it, get the embed code, share with the user groups.
I can see options to directly create dashboard from template but i will need the underlying analysis for future checks of the client data, small pulls directly from analysis or future publish using GUI.
Is there a workaround to get the initial analysis and corresponding dashboard using CLI which can then be used to publish and update the dashboard going forward?
With this link, you can create a dashboard from a template without having to go through an analysis.
This link helps you generate an embedded URL.

I get that we can publish the dashboard directly using template but as i said, i will need the underlying analysis for future adhoc, client custom work. So i need to be able to edit the analysis on the quicksight GUI and be able to publish from there to the same embedded dashboard
As I understand you, the path you desire:
Dashboard => Analysis => Dashboard
As I understand from the documentation (I haven’t tried it myself), the path would be Dashboard => Derive template from dashboard => Generate analysis from template => Edit analysis => Derive template from analysis => Update dashboard with template
Hope everything is well with you! Just checking back in since this thread hasn’t received a response in a while.

Can the following work: i create separate analysis and dashboards using CLI - both via the same template.
Later if i want to change anything on the analysis / explore, i do so and publish the analysis by using “Existing dashboard" option to update the previously published and embedded dashboard?
