Quicksight Disaster Recovery Setup

Hi,

We have setup and using AWS Quicksight in us-east-1 region and now we want to create a DR setup in us-east-2 region to use the business applications whenever us-east-1 region is down. When tried to create user Groups in Quicksight, we are facing an error as “An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the CreateGroup operation: Operation is being called from endpoint us-east-2, but your identity region is us-east-1. Please use the us-east-1 endpoint”. Can retrieve users’ data from us-east-1 while trying to access from us-east-2 even when us-east-1 is down ?

Please guide us in setting up a Disaster Recovery setup for Quicksight.

Regards,
Sravan

Hi @sravan.jalluri,
QuickSight users only have the ability to exist once within a QuickSight account per AWS account. So if you’re trying to setup a second region, you would need to create a second AWS account and setup the region for there. Then you could create secondary accounts for users in that new region.

Hi @sravan.jalluri,

Following up here as it’s been awhile since we last heard from you on this thread; did you have any additional questions regarding your initial post?

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

Thank you
