With everyone in your account with the API

Alternatively, you can grant everyone in your account access to the dashboard with the Quick Sight API using the `UpdateDashboardPermissions` operation. 

The following example API request illustrates how to do so using an Amazon CLI command. It grants link permissions on the dashboard in your account, and allows the following operations: `DescribeDashboard`, `QueryDashboard` and `ListDashboard`.

```
aws quicksight update-dashboard-permissions \
--aws-account-id account-id \
--region aws-directory-region \
--dashboard-id dashboard-id \
--grant-link-permissions 
	Principal="arn:aws-cn:quicksight:aws-directory-region:account-id:namespace/default",
	Actions="quicksight:DescribeDashboard, quicksight:QueryDashboard, 
	quicksight:ListDashboardVersions"
```

The response for the preceding request looks similar to the following.

```
{
		"Status": 200,
		"DashboardArn": "arn:aws-cn:quicksight:AWSDIRECTORYREGION:ACCOUNTID:dashboard/
		DASHBOARDID",
		"DashboardId": "DASHBOARDID",
		"LinkSharingConfiguration": {
			"Permissions": [
				{
					"Actions": [
						"quicksight:DescribeDashboard",
						"quicksight:ListDashboardVersions",
						"quicksight:QueryDashboard"
					],
					"Principal": "arn:aws-cn:quicksight:AWSDIRECTORYREGION:ACCOUNTID:namespace/default"
				}
			]
		},
		"Permissions": [
			// other dashboard permissions here
		],
		"RequestId": "REQUESTID"
	}
```

You can also prevent all users in your account from accessing the dashboard using the same API operation. The following example request illustrates how by using a CLI command.

```
aws quicksight update-dashboard-permissions \
--aws-account-id account-id \
--region aws-directory-region \
--dashboard-id dashboard-id \
--revoke-link-permissions 
	Principal="arn:aws-cn:quicksight:aws-directory-region:account-id:namespace/default",
	Actions="quicksight:DescribeDashboard, quicksight:QueryDashboard, 
	quicksight:ListDashboardVersions"
```

For more information, see [UpdateDashboardPermissions](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/quicksight/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateDashboardPermissions.html) in the *Amazon Quick API Reference*.

When all users in a Quick user account are granted access to the dashboard, the following snippet is added to Amazon CloudTrail log as part of the `eventName` `UpdateDashboardAccess`, and the `eventCategory` `Management`.

```
"linkPermissionPolicies": 
	[
		{
			"principal": "arn:aws-cn:quicksight:AWSDIRECTORYREGION:ACCOUNTID:
							namespace/default",
			"actions": 
			[
				"quicksight:DescribeDashboard",
				"quicksight:ListDashboardVersions",
				"quicksight:QueryDashboard"
			]
		}
	]
```
