Creating and managing groups in Amazon QuickSight

Focus mode
Creating and managing groups in Amazon QuickSight - Amazon QuickSight
   Intended audience: System administrators 
 Applies to: Enterprise Edition 
Note

If your QuickSight account is integrated with IAM Identity Center (recommended), groups are not managed in the QuickSight application. Instead, groups are managed in IAM Identity Center or in the third-party identity provider that you configured in IAM Identity Center. Groups are synced automatically between QuickSight and IAM Identity Center.

Admins with IAM credentials who have access to the Amazon QuickSight console can organize sets of users into groups that make it easier to manage access and security. For example, you can create a group of users that you can share QuickSight assets with all at once. You can create and manage groups using the QuickSight console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). You can create up to 10,000 groups in a namespace. If you want to create more than 10,000 groups in a namespace, contact AWS Support.

Use the topics below to create, and modify groups with in the QuickSight console or with the QuickSight APIs.
