Hi everyone,
I am looking for some inputs around feasibility of migrating a dashboard from one QS account to another. Firstly, is this doable? or do we need to redo all stages of development to transfer an existing report from 1 account to another?
If it’s possible, could someone please share the steps to follow and things to lookout for?
Best Regards,
Akhil

Hi @Akhil -
It is doable. QuickSight has an extensive API that will help you migrate dashboards across accounts.
As with all cross-account processes you’ll want to look out for permissions. You’ll need to setup the correct level of access in both accounts.
The basic steps;
Create templates in the source account
Copy the templates into the target account
Create objects in the target account
Examples:
