We are evaluating AWS Quick Suite for replacing our inbuilt BI solution. Currently we provide read/write permissions to all users in our application. However this approach would be prohibitively expensive if we start assigning author roles to 1000s of users.
So I’m wondering if we can share a reader/author role from Quick among multiple users in our platform. Probably one author role for all users in a tenant.
Is this possible or does it go against your TOS?
Is there a recommended approach for this?
Please explain the options we have.
Thankyou,
Vijay
Hi @vbritto
Welcome to the Quick Suite community!
Quick Suite Enterprise edition does not support sharing a single author or reader account/role among multiple users, as accounts link to unique IAM identities and concurrent logins risk errors or session conflicts.
Every Quick Suite user must register individually via IAM, with roles (Admin, Author and Reader) assigned per user within a namespace. Authors handle creation/editing of assets, readers view them, and roles function as permissions on shared resources like dashboards via groups.
Namespaces partition users/assets, users in one can’t see others unless explicitly shared (assets exist account-wide).
Please refer to the following documentations this might be helpful for you.
@Xclipse Thank you for the response.
Can you please confirm if the number of concurrent author sessions for one IAM user is 1?
Hi @vbritto
For Authors, Quick Suite enforces a limit of one active session per user identity (including IAM users). If you attempt to log in from a different browser, device, or incognito window while already signed in, the original session will be invalidated. While the first session may not close instantly, the user will receive a “Session Expired” notification as soon as they attempt to interact with the page.
Hi @vbritto ,
Just following up here as it has been a while since last communication on this thread. Were the resources provided above useful for your case?
Please let us know if you need any additional clarification or if you have any more questions. If we don’t hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as resolved.
Thank you.
