CreateAccountSubscription

Creates an Amazon QuickSight account, or subscribes to Amazon QuickSight Q.

The AWS Region for the account is derived from what is configured in the AWS CLI or SDK.

Before you use this operation, make sure that you can connect to an existing AWS account. If you don't have an AWS account, see Sign up for AWS in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide. The person who signs up for Amazon QuickSight needs to have the correct AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. For more information, see IAM Policy Examples for Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.

If your IAM policy includes both the Subscribe and CreateAccountSubscription actions, make sure that both actions are set to Allow. If either action is set to Deny, the Deny action prevails and your API call fails.

You can't pass an existing IAM role to access other AWS services using this API operation. To pass your existing IAM role to Amazon QuickSight, see Passing IAM roles to Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.

You can't set default resource access on the new account from the Amazon QuickSight API. Instead, add default resource access from the Amazon QuickSight console. For more information about setting default resource access to AWS services, see Setting default resource access to AWS services in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.
