List folders for groups does not work on ListFolderMembersForResource

Question & Answer

I am using ListFolderMembersForResource to get folder memberships of datasets and dashboards. I need to also look for folder memberships of groups. If I pass the resource-arn of a group, it does not work. Is this API supported for group resource arn?

Hi @alltej

ListFoldersForResource API only works for QuickSight assets that can actually live in a folder (dashboards, analyses, datasets and in some regions, templates). It will return a ResourceNotFoundException if you pass it an ARN for something else (like a user or group).

QuickSight groups aren’t folder members in that sense they’re principals you grant permissions to. If you need to see which groups have access to a given folder, you’ll have to call the folder-permission APIs using DescribeFolderPermissions on each folder and filter the returned permission entries for your group ARN.

Please refer to the below documentation this might be helpful for you.
