CreateNamespace

(Enterprise edition only) Creates a new namespace for you to use with Amazon QuickSight.

A namespace allows you to isolate the Amazon QuickSight users and groups that are registered for that namespace. Users that access the namespace can share assets only with other users or groups in the same namespace. They can't see users and groups in other namespaces. You can create a namespace after your AWS account is subscribed to Amazon QuickSight. The namespace must be unique within the AWS account. By default, there is a limit of 100 namespaces per AWS account. To increase your limit, create a ticket with AWS Support.
