Question & Answer

As part of our requirements,

We are trying to Create Sample Dashboards in Customer’s Account from Service Account and Embed in our Web App

Web App is Authenticated using AWS IDC and Customer’s QuickSIght is also Authenticated using AWS IDC.

So from Web App and BFF (backend for frontend) layer , we are trying to call QuickSIght APIs using IDC Creds.

What is suggested approach to call QuickSIght APIs from Backend layer?

Does QuickSight APIs support AWS Auth? can we use Forward Access Sessions ?

Do you see any concerns embedding Customer’s QuickSight account in Web App?

Have you made an attempt at working through this, if so have you run into any errors?
