Quicksight api , creating folder by namespace

Question & Answer
,
1

i have two quicksight accounts ( diffrent namespace obviously )
and im using the quicksight client api to create a folder:

this.quickSightClient
                .get()
                .createFolder(
                    CreateFolderRequest.builder()
                        .awsAccountId(this.quickSightClient.getAwsAccountId()).name(folderName)
                        .permissions(permissions).folderId(folderId).folderType(FolderType.SHARED)
                        .parentFolderArn(parentFolderArn)
                        .sharingModel(SharingModel.NAMESPACE)
                        .build()).arn();

My issue is that i still can see the folder when i’m in a diffrent namespace. also datasets that i create inside these folders can be seen
any idea ?

Hi @ilyasse,
Hoping to clarify real quick; so your folder from one namespace is visible when logged in to another namespace account along with the datasets as well?

Thank you

Hello @Brett, yes exactly as you said, i can view my folder from another account ( diffrent namespace) and yes with the dataset aswell

Hi @ilyasse,
I would suggest trying this out and seeing if the folder was setup to be accessible across different namespaces:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/quicksight/describe-folder-permissions.html

Let me know if this helps or if you have any additional questions!

Thank you

Yes i have done it, and i found out that only users from one namespace were there. Which doesnt make sens why the other users from diffrent namespace can still see the folder

Hi @ilyasse,
This does seem like abnormal behavior, I would suggest creating a support ticket for further assistance from the AWS support team!

It’s been awhile since we last heard from you. Following up to see if you had any additional questions?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll go ahead and close out this topic.
