Export QS assets from one account and import another account

Q&A

Has anyone successfully exported a dashboard and related assets (datasets, analyses, etc) via the APIs / CLI and imported it into another account? Would you happen to have shared the steps you took in a blog post or similar? Specifically, I want to bring dashboards created under an account in Commercial over to a GovCloud account.

I have been trying the start_asset_bundle_export_job() and managed to get a .qs download link which I successfully downloaded.

    response = client.start_asset_bundle_export_job(
        AwsAccountId=AWS_ACCOUNT_ID,
        AssetBundleExportJobId=job_id,
        IncludeAllDependencies=True,  # Include all dependencies like datasets and analyses
        ResourceArns=resource_arns,
        ExportFormat=EXPORT_FORMAT,
        IncludePermissions=True,  # Optional: Include permissions
        IncludeTags=True,  # Optional: Include tags
        IncludeFolderMemberships=True  # Optional: Include folder memberships
    )

The problem I am facing is trying to load it into another account. I get errors such as the following:

        "Arn": "arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:46xxx59:datasource/76a3b999-1969-4e74-9181-e4c1d4a8123c",
        "Type": "com.amazonaws.services.quicksight.model.InvalidParameterValueException",
        "Message": "All principals in ResourcePermission list and the requester must be under the same account"

I was wondering if anyone had managed to export from one account and import into another account. Were there any special tricks? For example, I am not sure what the source of the “All principals in ResourcePermission list and the requester must be under the same account” error is.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @Esther_Kent,

Looks like you are trying to reference resources that are in the source account when importing in the target account. Please check that all principals are pointing to the new account.

Hope this helps!
