Streamlining Seamless Authentication and Dashboard Access in Your App

Question & Answer
,
1

I’m looking to streamline the process of allowing my app users to authenticate to Quicksight and access the dashboards.

Ideally, this authentication process should be seamless and managed entirely by the app’s logic, without making the users aware of it.

Furthermore, I want to avoid using their email addresses as a form of authentication to eliminate the need to handle an additional source of personally identifiable information (PII).

Is this feasible and if so, could you guide me on how to achieve it?

Hi @kolodnydan

please take a look at Federated Quicksight Access with Okta (here)

Towards the end there is a section: Pre-provisioning QuickSight users.

You can pre-provision users in Quicksight using the role assumed by your app to authenticate into Quicksight. The sessionName is the name the user has in your app. This role + sessionName will become the username in Quicksight. Your users will simply login in into your app, and then seamlessly navigate to Quicksight without any need for them to login.

This old answer might also help: Provisioning & Invite SSO users

Hope it helps,GL

Thanks again for the quick response i just want to make sure
that the following method doesn’t requires SAML because the article is referring to the OKTA with SAML method.

Thanks in advance
