Hello, I did create a new Entrprise edition Quicksight account where i did set the authentication method to “Password based or Signle-Sign On”. With the quicsight API CLI, i did create diffrent namespaces as well as diffrent users in those namespaces. My issue is that only users that are created …

Hi @ilyasse Yes, users in non-default (custom) namespaces cannot authenticate directly via the standard URL using password based login, federated Single Sign On (SSO) via IAM is mandatory for them. Custom namespaces support only IAM federated SSO users.

Hi if i understand verry well, it is impossible to have users in diffrent namespace authenticate to quicksight directly with url, an SSO configuration is mandatory for them right? I wonder if it is the only way for them to access quicksight except iam identity center or active directory? Thank yo…

Hi @Xclipse , I’d like to add one more question please, I already have an external IDP that uses OIDC standard. i can use it in order to configure my quicksight users with diffrent namespaces right ? Is there any configuration needed to achieve that ? Any documentation regarding this ? Thanks !

Hi @ilyasse

Quick URL you are using defaults to the default namespace and may not work directly for users in non-default namespaces. Users in non-default namespaces must be created and authenticated using federated Single Sign-On (SSO) configured with your identity provider (IdP) via IAM federation.

Please refer to the following documentations this might be helpful for you.
