                        // authorizedResourceArns should contain ARN of dashboard used below in ExperienceConfiguration
                        AuthorizedResourceArns = { "dashboard_id" },
                        ExperienceConfiguration = anonymousUserEmbeddingExperienceConfiguration,

To assume the role, choose one of the following Amazon Security Token Service (Amazon STS) API operations:

The following example shows the CLI command to set the IAM role. The role needs to have permissions enabled for quicksight:GenerateEmbedUrlForAnonymousUser.

aws sts assume-role \
    --role-arn "arn:aws-cn:iam::11112222333:role/QuickSightEmbeddingAnonymousPolicy" \
    --role-session-name anonymous caller

The assume-role operation returns three output parameters: the access key, the secret key, and the session token.

The following example shows how to set these three parameters in the CLI. If you're using a Microsoft Windows machine, use set instead of export.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID     = "access_key_from_assume_role"
        export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "secret_key_from_assume_role"
        export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN     = "session_token_from_assume_role"

Running these commands sets the role session ID of the user visiting your website to embedding_quicksight_visual_role/QuickSightEmbeddingAnonymousPolicy. The role session ID is made up of the role name from role-arn and the role-session-name value. Using the unique role session ID for each user ensures that appropriate permissions are set for each visiting user. It also keeps each session separate and distinct. If you're using an array of web servers, for example for load balancing, and a session is reconnected to a different server, a new session begins.

To get a signed URL for the visual, call generate-embed-url-for-anynymous-user from the app server. This returns the embeddable visual URL. The following example shows how to generate the URL for an embedded visual using a server-side call for users who are making anonymous visits to your web portal or app.

aws quicksight generate-embed-url-for-anonymous-user \
    --aws-account-id 111122223333 \
    --namespace default-or-something-else \
    --session-lifetime-in-minutes 15 \
    --authorized-resource-arns '["dashboard-arn-1","dashboard-arn-2"]' \
    --allowed-domains '["domain1","domain2"]' \
    --session-tags '["Key": tag-key-1,"Value": tag-value-1,{"Key": tag-key-1,"Value": tag-value-1}]' \
    --experience-configuration 'DashboardVisual={InitialDashboardVisualId={DashboardId=dashboard_id,SheetId=sheet_id,VisualId=visual_id}}'

For more information about using this operation, see GenerateEmbedUrlForAnonymousUser. You can use this and other API operations in your own code.
