Viewing data in analysis/developer screen with tag based row level security enabled

[wildcard440]

When I have tag based RLS enabled I can only view the data in a published app after applying the tags for my security settings. Is there a way as an admin and data owner I can still view the data of a data source with tag based RLS active but in the Analysis view for development. I don’t want to have to toggle the security on/off every time i want to play with the data. Thanks

Hi @wildcard440

This is expected behavior with tag-based RLS in QuickSight. When tag-based RLS is active on a dataset, registered QuickSight users, including admins and authors are unable to view the data in Analysis view by default.

The recommended workaround is to apply user-based RLS rules on the same dataset to grant yourself (or your author group) access during development. This allows both RLS types to coexist. Tag-based RLS continues to secure your embedded dashboards, while user-based RLS gives you full access in the authoring experience.

Please refer to the following community post, which addresses this exact scenario.

Is there a way to mock session tags for row level security in analysis?

Hi Tom @tomDG, What Erik is said above is right. To fully answer your question, session tags can’t be mocked in analysis view. After turning on tag based RLS, you have to apply user based RLS on the data set to be able to see data from analysis view. You can either give yourself or your author group full access or change that around as needed (by updating the user based RLS rules). In my opinion, it is easier to work with full access (if your org allows it); You can always mimic end user view …
