How to share embedded quicksight dashboard to non-aws users

Question & Answer

I have embedded a quicksight dashboard in my web application using QuickSight API. The dashboard has some filters like location, Date range etc. Now, let’s say I have logged into the web app and applied some specific location filter on the dashboard. As I have applied the filter, the dashboard shows data as per the applied filter. Now I want to share a LINK of my dashboard with applied location filter to another user such that after opening the he should be able to see the data with the location filter applied. Is there any way to do so?

Note: The user with whom I have to share the dashboard is non-aws and non-quicksight user.

The feature to share a view of a dashboard is available on the QuickSight portal but not for embedded dashboards.

As a workaround, you can use parameters for your filters and look for ways to pass parameters values to QuickSight through the URL. I haven’t done this myself but these are resources that I’ve come across in the past.

You can also do a search for “parameters” here to see what you can do with parameters in embedded dashboards:
