Question & Answer

Hello,

I need to export a list the users with their dashboards.
I found an AWS CLI command that allows to list the dashboards or the users, but separately they are not linked.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Lahcen!
DescribeDashboardPermissions will return the principal (user) for the dashboard. To get that full list of all dashboards with the users and their permissions, you would need to set up a script to execute multiple calls. I would encourage you to take a look at this blog post on how to create an Admin console dashboard. This dashboard will give you object access information as well as much more. However, if you don’t want to setup the dashboard, you can still take a look at the data_prepare lambda function that provides a script to create an object_access.csv that would give you all assets, users, and permissions.
