Sharing datasets
You can give other Amazon QuickSight users and groups access to a dataset by sharing it with them. Then they can create analyses from it. If you make them co-owners, they can also refresh, edit, delete, or reshare the dataset.
Sharing a dataset
If you have owner permissions on a dataset, use the following procedure to share it.
To share a dataset
-
From the QuickSight start page, choose Datasets at left.
-
On the Datasets page, choose the dataset that you want to share.
-
On the dataset details page that opens, choose the Permissions tab, and then choose Add users & groups.
-
Enter the user or group that you want to share this dataset with, and then choose Add. You can only invite users who belong to the same QuickSight account.
Repeat this step until you have entered information for everyone you want to share the dataset with.
-
For the Permissions column, choose a role for each user or group to give them permissions on the dataset.
Choose Viewer to allow the user to create analyses and datasets from the dataset. Choose Owner to allow the user to do that and also refresh, edit, delete, and reshare the dataset.
Users receive emails with a link to the dataset. Groups don't receive invitation emails.
