Finding your current AWS account and AWS Region

To select the correct AWS account and AWS Region (console)

1. Open the AWS console, using the AWS account that you want to view SPICE information for. If you have only one AWS account, you can skip this step.

   You can verify the account number by following these steps:

   1. On the navigation bar at the top of the page, choose the account name or number at right. If a number displays, this might be your AWS account ID.

   2. Choose My Security Credentials to display your credential-related information and options. Your AWS account ID displays near the top of the page.

   To return to the original page, choose the AWS logo at upper left.

2. Open QuickSight by first entering "quicksight" into the Find Services search box. When the word QuickSight appears following the search box, choose it from the list.

3. In QuickSight, open the profile menu by choosing your profile icon at top right. The AWS name of the AWS Region that QuickSight is using displays in the menu.

   The same AWS Region also displays in the URL, for example: https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/admin. If this is your URL, the profile menu displays the name N. Virginia.

   To switch AWS Regions, display the list of supported Regions by choosing the Region name from the profile menu. Then choose the Region that you want to use. Switching to a different AWS Region changes the SPICE usage information that you can view. It also changes the QuickSight assets that you can use, for example data sources and dashboards.
