Hello, I would like to create a parameter using the username of the user connected to the dashboard? How to proceed to retrieve the username?

Same as the “Hiring Manager Login” one in the dashboard: https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/dashboards/2ffd14c8-8f0b-4f1a-b537-07e4618a7884/sheets/2ffd14c8-8f0b-4f1a-b537-07e4618a7884_3f0f9c04-fded-48b8-bf3c-fd4ba82d1179

Hi @diegodev
we cant open the dashboard.

One option would be to create a dataset with all users and apply row level security based on the user. So every user can only see itself.

Hi @diegodev, maybe try Embedding analytics using the GetDashboardEmbedURL and GetSessionEmbedURL API operations.
