Hello,
is it possible to create a link that allows the user to directly go in quicksight skipping the log in step?
the link is in a platform where the users log in using his/her email that is the same as in quicksight.

I am asking because it can be tedious to do many logs in,
I also saw that it is possible to embedd a whole dashboard, how will the Row Security works in this case?
thank you

Hello Luca,

Yes thats possible. please refer to the links below for better understanding.

  1. Using external identity federation and single sign-on with Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs_P2Ix25NI

Yes its possible to embed whole dashboard as well as visuals of your choice from your dashboard. Row level security are applied in the data set and it works with Embedding as well.

However, you need to know what kind of embedding you are going to apply

QuickSight supports embedding for these elements:

  • QuickSight console (full authoring experience for registered users )
  • QuickSight dashboards and visuals (for registered users, anonymous users, public end users)
  • QuickSight Q search bar (for registered users and anonymous users)

see -Embedded analytics for Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight

your license pricing will also influence RLS.
User based pricing - RLS
Capacity pricing - RLS ( for Register users ) and Tag based RLS for anonymous users.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Deep

Hello @Deep ,
thank you for answering!
so the first 2 links explain how to implement a link to an external web page and this link will automatically bring the user to its Quicksight account in QS?
what if the tool does where the link is does not have SSO?

Hello Luca,

I did not understand your query. what do you mean by does not have SSO?

Somewhere you would need to have the user log in - such as AWS console or your web application or some other application. where are the user maintained or managed?
