Getting access to create groups in quicksight

Q&A
1

Hi,

in order to create group in QS, I red the post in the attached URL:
Creating and managing groups in Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight.

my question - should I have aws account admin with IAM credentials or QS admin should be enough?

Thanks,
Amihai

Hi,

It should be the account admin with IAM credentials. Example policy for creating and managing groups (IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight ) : Attaching this policy to the IAM user who is an Admin logging into Quick Sight will be able to for eg : create a new group .

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "quicksight:ListGroups",
                "quicksight:CreateGroup",
                "quicksight:SearchGroups",
                "quicksight:ListGroupMemberships",
                "quicksight:CreateGroupMembership",
                "quicksight:DeleteGroupMembership",
                "quicksight:DescribeGroupMembership",
                "quicksight:ListUsers"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
