# Step 1: Set up permissions
<a name="embedded-dashboards-for-authenticated-users-get-step-1"></a>

**Important**  
Amazon Quick Sight has new APIs for embedding analytics: `GenerateEmbedUrlForAnonymousUser` and `GenerateEmbedUrlForRegisteredUser`.  
You can still use the `GetDashboardEmbedUrl` and `GetSessionEmbedUrl` APIs to embed dashboards and the Amazon Quick Sight console, but they do not contain the latest embedding capabilities. For the latest up-to-date embedding experience, see [Embedding Amazon Quick Sight analytics into your applications](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/quicksight/latest/user/embedding-overview.html).

In the following section, you can find out how to set up permissions for the backend application or web server. This task requires administrative access to IAM.

Each user who accesses a dashboard assumes a role that gives them Amazon Quick Sight access and permissions to the dashboard. To make this possible, create an IAM role in your Amazon account. Associate an IAM policy with the role to provide permissions to any user who assumes it. The IAM role needs to provide permissions to retrieve dashboard URLs. For this, you add `quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl`.

The following sample policy provides these permissions for use with `IdentityType=IAM`. 

------
#### [ JSON ]

****  

```
{
    "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
```

------

The following sample policy provides permission to retrieve a dashboard URL. You use the policy with `quicksight:RegisterUser` if you are creating first-time users who are to be Amazon Quick Sight readers. 

------
#### [ JSON ]

****  

```
{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": "quicksight:RegisterUser",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Effect": "Allow"
    },
    {
      "Action": "quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Effect": "Allow"
    }
  ]
}
```

------

If you use `QUICKSIGHT` as your `identityType` and provide the user's Amazon Resource Name (ARN), you also need to allow the `quicksight:GetAuthCode` action in your policy. The following sample policy provides this permission.

------
#### [ JSON ]

****  

```
{
  "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl",
        "quicksight:GetAuthCode"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
```

------

Your application's IAM identity must have a trust policy associated with it to allow access to the role that you just created. This means that when a user accesses your application, your application can assume the role on the user's behalf and provision the user in Amazon Quick Sight. The following example shows a role called `embedding_quicksight_dashboard_role`, which has the sample policy preceding as its resource.
