Exporting a dataset with RLS

Question & Answer

Hello,

I’m trying to export an analysis/dashboard that has RLS implemented but come across this when I call, aws quicksight describe-asset-bundle-export-job…

“Errors”: [
{
“Arn”: “arn:aws:quicksight:::dataset/***************”,
“Type”: “com.amazonaws.services.quicksight.model.InvalidParameterValueException”,
“Message”: “The data set type is not supported through API yet”
}
]

Does this mean we can’t export assets with RLS at the moment? Or are we unable to export datasets that include uploaded files as a source?

Hi @mitoo ,

file based datasources cannot be exported yet.
My advise is to use a S3 bucket. Place the file in the bucket, create a manifest-file that describes the character of your file(s).

Here you can find how to create the manifest file:

Once you switched the dataset from the file based source to the s3 based the export should work.

Best regards,
Nico

Hi @mitoo,
You can export assets that leverage RLS, however, exporting datasets that include uploaded files as a source are currently not supported (see documentation of the DescribeDataSet API).

Hello,

Is there a timeline on this or can we “vote” to increase the priority? It seems an engineer says that it’s known issue: The 'Generate PDF' option does not appear on all dashboards · Issue #224 · awslabs/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk · GitHub.

We know about the API, we just need to determine if it’s worth the level of effort in QS is going to fix it in 2 months or less versus a year
