Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Finding your current Amazon account and Amazon Web Services Region

To select the correct Amazon account and Amazon Web Services Region (console)
  1. Open the Amazon console, using the Amazon account that you want to view SPICE information for. If you have only one Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services account ID.

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

    To return to the original page, choose the Amazon 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 Amazon name of the Amazon Web Services Region that QuickSight is using displays in the menu.

    The same Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services 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.
