i’d like to automate quicksight deployment using a cloudformation.

i couldn’t find a function that can sign up for quicksight in this link.

( there is no a “user add function” too - admin, author, reader users )

how can i sign up for quicksight using cloudformation ?

Hello @hans !

To clarify, do you already have Quicksight set up in your console, you just want to use it with Quicksight or do you need to start using Quicksight altogether?

hi @duncan

I know I can sign up for an Amazon QuickSight subscription in the AWS console.

I would like to know if this process can be scripted using a Cloudformation template. (yaml or json)

They will get a default email that should start Quicksight for them. You can either hardcode the user email in the CloudFormation template or provide the user email in the parameters.

You can also use this process:
