Question & Answer

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to export / import the user restrictions for a dataset
ie: When user is in edit dataset and selects … for field and choosed ‘restrict access to only me’

When I look at the output of describe_datasets after adding this flag, there is no change - so just wondering if this is available via the API?

Hi @mike.thomson - Welcome to AWS QuickSight community and thanks for posting the question. I believe there is NO QuickSight API exist which tracks the changes in the Datasets, However you can track this via cloudtrail logs. Can you please have a look on the below link - Logging operations with AWS CloudTrail - Amazon QuickSight

By saying that let’s hear from other experts @David_Wong @sagmukhe @duncan @DylanM on this.

Hello @mike.thomson !

I agree with @Sanjeeb2022 that this is not currently available, and that your best option would be using Cloutrail. It’s not entirely what you are looking for but you could us the describe dataset permissions call to see who has access to make those types of changes.

I will mark this as a feature request.
