Before you start
Before you can share a dashboard with anyone on the internet, make sure to do the following:
-
Turn on session capacity pricing on your account. If you have not turned on session capacity pricing on your account, you won't be able to update your account's public sharing settings. For more information about session capacity pricing, see https://www.amazonaws.cn/quicksight/pricing/
. -
Assign public sharing permissions to an administrative user in the IAM console. You can add these permissions with a new policy or you can add the new permissions to an existing user.
The following sample policy provides permissions for use with
UpdatePublicSharingSettings
.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": "quicksight:UpdatePublicSharingSettings", "Resource": "*", "Effect": "Allow" } ] }
Accounts that don't want users with administrator access to use this feature can add an IAM policy that denies public sharing permissions. The following sample policy denies permissions for use with
UpdatePublicSharingSettings
.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": "quicksight:UpdatePublicSharingSettings", "Resource": "*", "Effect": "Deny" } ] }
For more information on using IAM with QuickSight, see Using Amazon QuickSight with IAM.
You can also use the "Deny" policy as a Service Control Policy (SCP) if you don't want any of the accounts in your organization to have the public sharing feature. For more information, see Service control policies (SCPs) in the Amazon Organizations User Guide.
-
Turn on public sharing on your QuickSight account.
-
From the Amazon QuickSight start page, choose your user icon at the upper right of your browser window, and then choose Manage QuickSight.
-
In the page that opens, choose Security and permissions at left.
-
Scroll down and, in the Public access to dashboards section, choose Manage.
-
On the page that opens, choose Anyone on the internet.
When you turn on this setting, a pop up will appear asking you to confirm your choice. Once you've confirmed your choice, you can grant the public access to specific dashboards and share those dashboards with them with a link or by embedding the dashboard in a public application, wiki, or portal.
