2022/07/05 - Amazon QuickSight - 2 new 3 updated api methods
Changes This release allows customers to programmatically create QuickSight accounts with Enterprise and Enterprise + Q editions. It also releases allowlisting domains for embedding QuickSight dashboards at runtime through the embedding APIs.
Creates an Amazon QuickSight account, or subscribes to Amazon QuickSight Q.
The Amazon Web Services Region for the account is derived from what is configured in the CLI or SDK. This operation isn't supported in the US East (Ohio) Region, South America (Sao Paulo) Region, or Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region.
Before you use this operation, make sure that you can connect to an existing Amazon Web Services account. If you don't have an Amazon Web Services account, see Sign up for Amazon Web Services in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide . The person who signs up for Amazon QuickSight needs to have the correct Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. For more information, see IAM Policy Examples for Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .
If your IAM policy includes both the Subscribe and CreateAccountSubscription actions, make sure that both actions are set to Allow . If either action is set to Deny , the Deny action prevails and your API call fails.
You can't pass an existing IAM role to access other Amazon Web Services services using this API operation. To pass your existing IAM role to Amazon QuickSight, see Passing IAM roles to Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .
You can't set default resource access on the new account from the Amazon QuickSight API. Instead, add default resource access from the Amazon QuickSight console. For more information about setting default resource access to Amazon Web Services services, see Setting default resource access to Amazon Web Services services in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

{'AllowedDomains': ['string']}
Generates an embed URL that you can use to embed an Amazon QuickSight dashboard in your website, without having to register any reader users. Before you use this action, make sure that you have configured the dashboards and permissions.
The following rules apply to the generated URL:
It contains a temporary bearer token. It is valid for 5 minutes after it is generated. Once redeemed within this period, it cannot be re-used again.
The URL validity period should not be confused with the actual session lifetime that can be customized using the SessionLifetimeInMinutes parameter. The resulting user session is valid for 15 minutes (minimum) to 10 hours (maximum). The default session duration is 10 hours.
You are charged only when the URL is used or there is interaction with Amazon QuickSight.
For more information, see Embedded Analytics in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .
For more information about the high-level steps for embedding and for an interactive demo of the ways you can customize embedding, visit the Amazon QuickSight Developer Portal.
