We have Okta groups.I want to map those users to shared folder dashboards.
EX:

So is it doable in quicksight?if yes please help me out

Hi Syed - Did you try to add the group in the dashboard permission? Usually you can add a group and user in dashboard permission to give the access. Can you please give a try?

Tagging @Sabiha for advise on this.

Hi @syed_imran and @Sanjeeb2022
I would suggest you use Asset management in Quicksight.

So as an Admin, go to Asset management, select the dashboards you want to share and then select the group you want to share it with.
With Asset Management you can share any QS assets like analysis, dashboards, folder with anyone principal like user, groups or role.
Hope this helps!!!

@syed_imran you will have to create QuickSight groups and add the specific Octa users to these groups.
