Hello,
I know that it was not possible to change the name of the account.

Thank you

Hi @remba87

You can’t change the name of the QuickSight account. We recently raised a similar query with AWS and the answer was No.

Your workaround is to create a new account and transfer your assets from the old to new. We are yet to take this route.

Hi @Giridhar.Prabhu,
the work around is to create another temp account, move everything, delete the first acocunt, create a new account and move again.
this because it is possible to have only 1 QS acocunt for AWS account no?

Hi @remba87

We haven’t ventured into this yet given the effort, knowledge of the scripting required plus risk of outage that may be involved in case things go wrong.

However, it appears this has been tried and they have succeeded.

Rename QuickSight account name

Hi all. Is it possible to rename an existing AWS QuickSight account name? If not, is it something on the backlog? Still, if we wanted, could we create a new QuickSight account on the same AWS account with a different name? Would we need to migrate all stuff manually?

I suggest you raise a ticket with AWS specifically asking for steps. They should be able to guide you through this.

I do have a request for change in account name in our environment, that is pending with me! I may be looking into this in the coming month. In case I get to it before you I will let you know.
