Issues with Anonymous Embedding: Text Boxes, Image Rendering, and Table-Driven Filters Not Working

Q&A

I am using Quick Sight anonymous embedding for dashboards, using generate_embed_url_for_anonymous_user().

The dashboard loads, but I am encountering 3 issues

  1. Text inside text boxes is not displaying. The background color shows up, but the actual text does not render. I have tested fonts such as Open Sans and Roboto.

  2. I inserted images by uploading directly into Quicksight analyses. But the images do not render in the embedded dashboard. Instead each image shows “This operation failed. Contact support if the issue persists.”

  3. I have a table with a ‘filter action’ set up. It targets 4 visuals such as kpi plots and a bar plot. In the Quick Sight UI, clicking a row updates all visuals. In the anonymous embed, the bar chart goes blank and the KPIs don’t respond at all.

Note, when I was using 1-click embedding (while logged into Quick Sight in a separate browser tab), the embedded dashboard worked as expected. But after switching to the backend API flow using boto3 with generate_embed_url_for_anonymous_user(), these issues started appearing.

Hello @nazma

I would double check that you have followed the steps here:

It works now. I am not sure what the problem was. It was strange!
