Seeing delay in UpdateUser

Question & Answer
,
1

hello, I am updating the user role from Reader to Author and as soon as the updateUser is call is complete, we are waiting for 4 secs and Updating Data Source permissions of that user and getting the following exception:

The following principals are invalid in GrantPermissions or RevokePermissions because their roles are less privileged than AUTHOR: [arn:aws:quicksight:us-west-2:$ACCOUNTID:user/$NAMESPACE/$USERNAME]

Here are the permissions that we are trying to grant to the user who changed from Reader to Author

“quicksight:DescribeDataSource”, “quicksight:PassDataSource”, “quicksight:DescribeDataSourcePermissions”,

Looks like there is a delay in UpdateUser even though UpdateUser response returns as updated. Please suggest

Hello @thishali !

I have seen this happen before (Delay in users registration), but I’m not sure that there is a specific solution for it yet. My suggestion is to give it a few minutes to updates and then continue with updating the permission set.

Were you able to make updates for the user or is not working at all?
