Sharing Amazon QuickSight dashboards

By default, dashboards in Amazon QuickSight aren't shared with anyone and are only accessible to the owner. However, after you publish a dashboard, you can share it with other users or groups in your QuickSight account. You can also choose to share the dashboard with everyone in your QuickSight account and make the dashboard visible on the QuickSight homepage for all users in your account. Additionally, you can copy a link to the dashboard to share with others who have access to it.

Important

Users who have access to the dashboard can also see the data used in the associated analysis.

After you share a dashboard, you can review the other users or groups that have access to it and control the type of access they have. You can revoke access to the dashboard for any user. You can also remove yourself from it.

You can also embed interactive dashboards and visuals in websites and apps by copying the dashboard or visual embed code and pasting it in your application. For more information, see Embedding visuals and dashboards for registered users with a 1-click embed code.

Granting access to a dashboard

You can share dashboards and visuals with specific users or groups in your account or with everyone in your Amazon QuickSight account. Or you share them with anyone on the internet. You can share dashboards and visuals by using the QuickSight console or the QuickSight API. Access to a shared visual depends on the sharing settings that are configured for the dashboard that the visual belongs to. To share and embed visuals to your website or application, adjust the sharing settings of the dashboard that it belongs to. For more informaton, see the following:
