Hi @rdunetz - Welcome to AWS QuickSight and thanks for posting the question. Each QuickSight object, when it is created a unique ID is generated by the system to track it. You can use QuickSight Boto3 API to get those details. Please see the sample document to list dashboard, the return statement have dashboard details along with IDs.

However what is your exact problem statement?

You can also see the dashboard id in the URL. It’s the string of random characters at the end of the URL.

Another way is to go to Manage QuickSight > Manage Assets > Browse Assets. You’ll see a list of all your dashboards with their IDs.

Cool, I do not have access to Manage Assets yet due to some permission issues. Glad to know this as well. So basically we have 3 options.

  1. From QuickSight API , we can list dashboards and get the dashboard Ids.
  2. From URL, we can get the dashboard IDs
  3. From Manage Assets, we can get the dashboard Ids as well.

Thanks @David_Wong
