Changing the default CMK - Amazon QuickSight
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).

Changing the default CMK

You can change the default key to another key that already exists in the KMS keys dashboard. When you change the default key, all new datasets created in SPICE are encrypted on the new key. The new default key changes how new SPICE datasets are encrypted. However, existing datasets continue to use the previous default key until the dataset is fully refreshed. To encrypt the dataset with a new default key, perform a full refresh on the dataset.

To change the default key to an existing key
  1. On the QuickSight start page, choose Manage QuickSight, and then choose KMS keys.

  2. On the KMS keys page, choose MANAGE to open the KMS keys dashboard.

  3. Navigate to the key that you want to set as your new default. Choose Actions (three dots) on the row of the key that you want to open the key's menu.

  4. Choose Set as default.

    KMS Keys interface showing key ARNs, aliases, and options to create or select keys.

    The selected key is now your default key.
