I've recently started looking into creating dashboards and analysis with the Quicksight API. I tried creating a datasource using the AWS SDK, the response was successful and I was also able to double-check this by calling a describe on the datasourceId. However, when I logged in to quicksight GUI it doesn't show in the list of datasources, can someone explain why this is happening.
I think that's a permission issue.
This was resolved if I add permissions when creating data sets and data sources.
const input: CreateDataSourceCommandInput = {
...
Permissions: [
{
Actions: [
'quicksight:DescribeDataSource',
'quicksight:DescribeDataSourcePermissions',
'quicksight:PassDataSource',
],
Principal: 'USER_ARN',
},
],
...
}
To retrieve USER_ARN
, refer to this guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/discovering-hot-topics-using-machine-learning/quicksight-principal-arn.html
API document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/APIReference/API_CreateDataSource.html#QS-CreateDataSource-request-Permissions
