Description

Updates an Amazon QuickSight user.

Parameters

-AwsAccountId <String>
The ID for the Amazon Web Services account that the user is in. Currently, you use the ID for the Amazon Web Services account that contains your Amazon QuickSight account.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonQuickSightConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.QS.AmazonQuickSightClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CustomFederationProviderUrl <String>
The URL of the custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider that provides identity to let a user federate into Amazon QuickSight with an associated Identity and Access Management(IAM) role. This parameter should only be used when ExternalLoginFederationProviderType parameter is set to CUSTOM_OIDC.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CustomPermissionsName <String>
(Enterprise edition only) The name of the custom permissions profile that you want to assign to this user. Customized permissions allows you to control a user's access by restricting access the following operations:
  • Create and update data sources
  • Create and update datasets
  • Create and update email reports
  • Subscribe to email reports
A set of custom permissions includes any combination of these restrictions. Currently, you need to create the profile names for custom permission sets by using the Amazon QuickSight console. Then, you use the RegisterUser API operation to assign the named set of permissions to a Amazon QuickSight user. Amazon QuickSight custom permissions are applied through IAM policies. Therefore, they override the permissions typically granted by assigning Amazon QuickSight users to one of the default security cohorts in Amazon QuickSight (admin, author, reader).This feature is available only to Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition subscriptions.

  • COGNITO: Amazon Cognito. The provider URL is cognito-identity.amazonaws.com. When choosing the COGNITO provider type, don’t use the "CustomFederationProviderUrl" parameter which is only needed when the external provider is custom.
  • CUSTOM_OIDC: Custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. When choosing CUSTOM_OIDC type, use the CustomFederationProviderUrl parameter to provide the custom OIDC provider URL.
  • NONE: This clears all the previously saved external login information for a user. Use the DescribeUser API operation to check the external login information.
