Apply a custom permissions profile to an account using the QuickSight APIs

After you have created a custom permissions profile, use the QuickSight API to add or change the custom permissions profile that is assigned to an account.

Before you begin, you will need to set up and configure the AWS CLI. For more information about installing the AWS CLI, see see Install or update the latest version of the AWS CLI and Configure the AWS CLI in the AWS Command Line Interface user guide. You also need the following IAM permissions: quicksight:UpdateAccountPermission, quicksight:DescribeAccountPermission, and quicksight:DeleteAccountCustomPermission.

The following example calls the UpdateAccountPermission API to update the custom permissions that are assigned to an account.

aws quicksight update-account-custom-permission \
--aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \
--custom-permissions-name PERMISSIONNAME \
--region REGION

The following example returns the custom permissions profile that is assigned to an account.

aws quicksight describe-account-custom-permission \
--aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \
--region REGION

The following example unapplies a custom permissions profile from an account.

aws quicksight delete-account-custom-permission \
--aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \
--region REGION
