amazon-quicksight-user-493 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 493 | Spectrum tables. This process works just as for any other Amazon Redshift tables in your cluster. You don't need to load or transform your data. For more information on using Amazon Redshift Spectrum, see Using Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query external data in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide. To connect using Redshift Spectrum, do the following: • Create or identify an IAM role associated with the Amazon Redshift cluster. • Add the IAM policies AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess and AmazonAthenaFullAccess to the IAM role. • Register an external schema or data catalog for the tables that you plan to use. Redshift Spectrum lets you separate storage from compute, so you can scale them separately. You only pay for the queries that you run. To connect to Redshift Spectrum tables, you don't need to grant Amazon QuickSight access to Amazon S3 or Athena. Amazon QuickSight needs access only to the Amazon Redshift cluster. For full details on configuring Redshift Spectrum, see Getting started with Amazon Redshift Spectrum in the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide. Authorizing connections from Amazon QuickSight to Amazon EC2 instances Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators For Amazon QuickSight to connect to an Amazon EC2 instance, you must create a new security group for that instance. This security group contains an inbound rule authorizing access from the appropriate IP address range for the Amazon QuickSight servers in that AWS Region. Accessing data sources 1785 Amazon QuickSight User Guide To modify the security groups for these Amazon EC2 instances, you must have AWS credentials that permit you to access to the instances. Enabling connection from Amazon QuickSight servers to your instance is just one of several prerequisites for creating a data set based on an AWS database data source. For more information about what is required, see Creating a dataset from a database. To enable Amazon QuickSight access to an Amazon EC2 instance 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon EC2 console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/. 2. If your EC2 instance is in a VPC, choose the instance to view the instance details pane. Find its VPC ID and note that ID for later use. 3. Choose Security Groups in the NETWORK & SECURITY section of the navigation pane. Then choose Create Security Group, as shown following. 4. Enter the security group information as follows: • For Security group name, enter Amazon-QuickSight-access. • For Description, enter Amazon-QuickSight-access. Accessing data sources 1786 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • For VPC, choose the VPC ID that you noted in step 2 if your Amazon EC2 instance is in a VPC. Otherwise, choose No VPC. 5. Choose Add Rule on the Inbound tab. 6. Create a new rule with the following values: • For Type, choose Custom TCP Rule. • For Protocol, choose TCP. • (Optional) For Port Range, enter the port number used by the instance on this Amazon EC2 instance to which you are providing access. • For Source, enter the CIDR address block for the AWS Region where you plan to use Amazon QuickSight. For example, here is the CIDR address block for Europe (Ireland): 52.210.255.224/27. For more information on the IP address ranges for Amazon QuickSight in supported AWS Regions, see AWS Regions, websites, IP address ranges, and endpoints. Note If you have activated Amazon QuickSight in multiple AWS Regions, you can create inbound rules for each Amazon QuickSight endpoint CIDR. Doing this allows Amazon QuickSight to have access to the Amazon RDS DB instance from any AWS Region defined in the inbound rules. An Amazon QuickSight user or administrator who uses Amazon QuickSight in multiple AWS Regions is treated as a single user. In other words, even if you are using Amazon QuickSight in every AWS Region, both your Amazon QuickSight account and your users are global. Accessing data sources 1787 Amazon QuickSight User Guide 7. Choose Create. 8. Choose Instances in the INSTANCES section of the navigation pane, and then choose the instance that you want to enable access to. 9. Choose Actions, then Networking, and then Change Security Groups. 10. In Change Security Groups, choose the Amazon-QuickSight-access security group. Then choose Assign Security Groups, as shown following.

Lake Formation adds to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions model by providing its own permissions model that is applied to AWS analytics and machine learning services. This centrally defined permissions model controls data access at a granular level through a simple grant and revoke mechanism. You can use Lake Formation instead of, or in addition to, using scoped-down policies with IAM. When you set up Lake Formation, you register your data sources to allow it to move the data into a new data lake in Amazon S3. Lake Formation and Athena both work seamlessly with AWS Glue Data Catalog, making it easy to use them together. Athena databases and tables are metadata containers. These containers describe the underlying schema of the data, the data definition language (DDL) statements, and the location of the data in Amazon S3. The following diagram shows the relationships of the AWS services involved. Accessing data sources 1789 Amazon QuickSight User Guide After Lake Formation is configured, you can use Amazon QuickSight to access databases and tables by name or through SQL queries. Amazon QuickSight provides a full-featured editor where you can write SQL queries. Or you can use the Athena console, the AWS CLI, or your favorite query editor. For more information, see Accessing Athena in the Amazon Athena User Guide. Use the topics below to configure a Lake Formation connection through Lake Formation or through QuickSight. Topics • Enabling connection from Lake Formation Accessing data sources 1790 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • Enabling connection from Amazon QuickSight Enabling connection from Lake Formation Before you begin using this solution with Amazon QuickSight, make sure that you can access your data using Athena with Lake Formation. After you verify that the connection is working through Athena, you need to verify only that Amazon QuickSight can connect to Athena. Doing this means you don't have to troubleshoot connections through all three products at once. One easy way to test the connection is to use the Athena query console to run a simple SQL command, for example SELECT 1 FROM table. To set up Lake Formation, the person or team who works on it needs access to create a new IAM role and to Lake Formation. They also need the information shown in the following list. For more information, see Setting up lake formation in the AWS Lake Formation Developer Guide. • Collect the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the Amazon QuickSight users and groups that need to access the data in Lake Formation. These users should be Amazon QuickSight authors or administrators. To find Amazon QuickSight user and group ARNs 1. Use the AWS CLI to find user ARNs for Amazon QuickSight authors and admins. To do this, run the following list-users command in your terminal (Linux or Mac) or at your command prompt (Windows). aws quicksight list-users --aws-account-id 111122223333 --namespace default -- region us-east-1 The response returns information for each user. We show the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in bold in the following example. RequestId: a27a4cef-4716-48c8-8d34-7d3196e76468 Status: 200 UserList: - Active: true Arn: arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:111122223333:user/default/SaanviSarkar Email: SaanviSarkar@example.com PrincipalId: federated/iam/AIDAJVCZOVSR3DESMJ7TA Role: ADMIN Accessing data sources 1791 Amazon QuickSight User Guide UserName: SaanviSarkar To avoid using the AWS CLI, you can construct the ARNs for each user manually. 2. (Optional) Use the AWS CLI to find ARNs for Amazon QuickSight groups by running the following list-group command in your terminal (Linux or Mac) or at your command prompt (Windows). aws quicksight list-groups --aws-account-id 111122223333 --namespace default -- region us-east-1 The response returns information for each group.

There currently isn't an option to do this from the Amazon QuickSight console. For more information, see Creating and managing groups in Amazon QuickSight. To avoid using the AWS CLI, you can construct the ARNs for each group manually. Enabling connection from Amazon QuickSight To work with Lake Formation and Athena, make sure that you have AWS resource permissions configured in Amazon QuickSight: • Enable access to Amazon Athena. • Enable access to the correct buckets in Amazon S3. Usually S3 access is enabled when you enable Athena. However, because you can change S3 permissions outside of that process, it's a good idea to verify them separately.

Authorizing connections to Amazon OpenSearch Service Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators Before you can use OpenSearch in a QuickSight dataset, there are a few tasks for the QuickSight administrator to complete with the cooperation of a person who has access to the OpenSearch console. To get started, identify each OpenSearch domain that you want to connect to. Then gather the following information for each domain: • The name of the OpenSearch domain. • The OpenSearch version used by this domain. • The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the OpenSearch domain. • The HTTPS endpoint. • The OpenSearch Dashboards URL, if you use Dashboards. You can extrapolate the Dashboards URL by appending "/dashboards/" to an endpoint. • If the domain has a VPC endpoint, gather all the related information on the VPC tab of the OpenSearch Service console: • The VPC ID • The VPC security groups • The associated IAM role or roles • The associated Availability Zones • The associated subnets • If the domain has a regular endpoint (not a VPC endpoint), note that it uses the public network. • The start hour for the daily automated snapshot (if your users want to know). Accessing data sources 1793 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Before you proceed, the QuickSight administrator enables authorized connections from QuickSight to OpenSearch Service. This process is required for every AWS service that you connect to from QuickSight. You need to do this only once per AWS account for each AWS service that you use as a data source. For OpenSearch Service, the authorization process adds the AWS managed policy AWSQuickSightOpenSearchPolicy to your AWS account. Important Make sure that the IAM policy for your OpenSearch domain doesn't conflict with the permissions in AWSQuickSightOpenSearchPolicy. You can find the domain access policy in the OpenSearch Service console. For more information, see Configuring access policies in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide. To turn on or turn off connections from QuickSight to OpenSearch Service 1. Within Amazon QuickSight, choose Administrator and Manage QuickSight. 2. Choose Security & permissions, Add or remove. 3. To enable connections, select the Amazon OpenSearch Service check box. To disable connections, clear the Amazon OpenSearch Service check box. 4. Choose Update to confirm your choices. If needed, use the topics below to configure a OpenSearch VPC connection and permissions for QuickSight to access OpenSearch. Topics • Using a VPC connection • Using OpenSearch permissions Using a VPC connection In some cases, your OpenSearch domain is in a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service. If so, make sure to determine if QuickSight is already connected to the VPC ID that Accessing data sources 1794 Amazon QuickSight User Guide the OpenSearch domain uses. You can reuse an existing VPC connection. If you're not sure if it's working, you can test it. For more information, see Testing the connection to your VPC data source. If a connection isn't already defined in QuickSight for the VPC that you want to use, you can create one. This task is a multistep process that you need to complete before you proceed. To learn how to add QuickSight to a VPC and add a connection from QuickSight to the VPC, see Connecting to a VPC with Amazon QuickSight. Using OpenSearch permissions After you configure QuickSight to connect to OpenSearch Service, you might need to enable permissions in OpenSearch. For this part of the setup process, you can use the OpenSearch Dashboards link for each OpenSearch domain. Use the following list to help determine what permissions you need: 1. For domains that use fine-grained access control, configure permissions in the form of a role. This process is similar to using scoped-down policies in QuickSight. 2. For each domain that you create a role for, add a role mapping. For more information, see following. If your OpenSearch domain has fine-grained access control enabled, there are some permissions to configure so the domain is accessible from QuickSight. Perform these steps for each domain that you want to use. The following procedure uses OpenSearch |

If your OpenSearch domain has fine-grained access control enabled, there are some permissions to configure so the domain is accessible from QuickSight. Perform these steps for each domain that you want to use. The following procedure uses OpenSearch Dashboards, which is an open-source tool that works with OpenSearch. You can find the link to Dashboards on the domain dashboard on the OpenSearch Service console. To add permissions to a domain to allow access from QuickSight 1. Open OpenSearch Dashboards for the OpenSearch domain that you want to work with. The URL is opensearch-domain-endpoint/dashboards/. 2. Choose Security from the navigation pane. If you don't see the navigation pane, open it by using the menu icon at upper left. To keep the menu open, choose Dock navigation at lower left. 3. Choose Roles, Create role. 4. Name the role quicksight_role. Accessing data sources 1795 Amazon QuickSight User Guide You can choose a different name, but we recommend this one because we use it in our documentation and it's thus easier to support. 5. Under Cluster permissions, add the following permissions: • cluster:monitor/main • cluster:monitor/health • cluster:monitor/state • indices:data/read/scroll • indices:data/read/scroll/clear, 6. Under Index permissions specify * as the index pattern. 7. For Index permissions, add the following permissions: • indices:admin/get • indices:admin/mappings/get • indices:admin/mappings/fields/get* • indices:data/read/search* • indices:monitor/settings/get 8. Choose Create. 9. Repeat this procedure for each OpenSearch domain that you're planning to use. Use the following procedure to add a role mapping for the permissions that you added in the previous procedure. You might find it more efficient to add the permissions and the role mapping as part of a single process. These instructions are separate for clarity. To create a role mapping for the IAM role you added 1. Open OpenSearch Dashboards for the OpenSearch domain that you want to work with. The URL is opensearch-domain-endpoint/dashboards/. 2. Choose Security from the navigation pane. 3. Search for and open quicksight_role from the list. 4. On the Mapped users tab, choose Manage mapping. 5. In the Backend roles section, enter the ARN of the AWS-managed IAM role for QuickSight. Following is an example. Accessing data sources 1796 Amazon QuickSight User Guide arn:aws:iam::AWS-ACCOUNT-ID:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-service-role-v0 6. Choose Map. 7. Repeat this procedure for each OpenSearch domain that you want to use. Authorizing connections to Amazon Athena If you need use Amazon QuickSight with Amazon Athena or Amazon Athena Federated Query, you first need to authorize connections to Athena and the associated buckets in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena Federated Query provides access to more types of data by using AWS Lambda. Using a connection from QuickSight to Athena, you can write SQL queries to interrogate data that's stored in relational, non-relational, object, and custom data sources. For more information, see Using Athena federated query in the Amazon Athena User Guide. Review the following considerations when setting up access to Athena from QuickSight: • Athena stores query results from QuickSight in a bucket. By default, this bucket has a name similar to aws-athena-query-results-AWSREGION-AWSACCOUNTID, for example aws- athena-query-results-us-east-2-111111111111. Therefore, it's important to make sure QuickSight has permissions to access the bucket Athena is currently using. • If your data file is encrypted with an AWS KMS key, grant permissions to the Amazon QuickSight IAM role to decrypt the key. The easiest way to do this is to use the AWS CLI. You can run the KMS create-grant API operation in AWS CLI to do this. aws kms create-grant --key-id <KMS_KEY_ARN> / --grantee-principal <QS_ROLE_ARN> --operations Decrypt The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the Amazon QuickSight role has the format arn:aws:iam::<account id>:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-s3-consumers- role-v<version number> and can be accessed from the IAM console. To find your KMS key ARN, use the S3 console. Go to the bucket that contains your data file and choose the Overview tab. The key is located near KMS key ID. • For Amazon Athena, Amazon S3, and Athena Query Federation connections, QuickSight uses the following IAM role by default: Accessing data sources 1797 Amazon QuickSight User Guide arn:aws:iam::AWS-ACCOUNT-ID:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-s3-consumers-role-v0 If the aws-quicksight-s3-consumers-role-v0 is not present, then QuickSight uses: arn:aws:iam::AWS-ACCOUNT-ID:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-service-role-v0 • If you assigned scope-down policies to your users, verify that the policies contain the lambda:InvokeFunction permission. Without this permission, your users can't access Athena Federated Queries. For more information about assigning IAM policies to your users in QuickSight, see Setting granular |
amazon-quicksight-user-497 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 497 | the bucket that contains your data file and choose the Overview tab. The key is located near KMS key ID. • For Amazon Athena, Amazon S3, and Athena Query Federation connections, QuickSight uses the following IAM role by default: Accessing data sources 1797 Amazon QuickSight User Guide arn:aws:iam::AWS-ACCOUNT-ID:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-s3-consumers-role-v0 If the aws-quicksight-s3-consumers-role-v0 is not present, then QuickSight uses: arn:aws:iam::AWS-ACCOUNT-ID:role/service-role/aws-quicksight-service-role-v0 • If you assigned scope-down policies to your users, verify that the policies contain the lambda:InvokeFunction permission. Without this permission, your users can't access Athena Federated Queries. For more information about assigning IAM policies to your users in QuickSight, see Setting granular access to AWS services through IAM. For more information about the lambda:InvokeFunction permission, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS Lambda in the IAM User Guide. To authorize QuickSight to connect to Athena or Athena federated data sources 1. (Optional) If you are using AWS Lake Formation with Athena, you also need to enable Lake Formation. For more information, see Authorizing connections through AWS Lake Formation. 2. Open your profile menu at top right and choose Manage QuickSight. You must be a QuickSight administrator to do this. If you don't see Manage QuickSight on the profile menu, you don't have sufficient permissions. 3. Choose Security & permissions, Add or remove. 4. Choose the box near Amazon Athena, Next. If it was already enabled, you might have to double-click it. Do this even if Amazon Athena is already enabled, so you can view the settings. No changes are saved until you choose Update at the end of this procedure. 5. 6. Enable the S3 buckets you want to access. (Optional) To enable Athena federated queries, select the Lambda functions you want to use. Note You can only see Lambda functions for the Athena catalogs in the same region of QuickSight. 7. To confirm your changes, choose Finish. Accessing data sources 1798 Amazon QuickSight To cancel, choose Cancel. 8. To save changes to security and permissions, choose Update. User Guide To test the connection authorization settings 1. From the QuickSight start page, choose Datasets, New dataset. 2. Choose the Athena card. 3. Follow the screen prompts to create a new Athena data source using the resources you need to connect to. Choose Validate connection to test the connection. 4. If the connection validates, you have successfully configured an Athena or Athena Federated Query connection. If you don't have sufficient permissions to connect to an Athena dataset or run an Athena query, an error displays directing you to contact a QuickSight administrator. This error means need to recheck your connection authorization settings to find the discrepancy. . 5. After you can connect successfully, you or your QuickSight authors can create data sources connections and share them with other QuickSight authors. The authors can then create multiple datasets from the connections, to use in QuickSight dashboards. For troubleshooting information on Athena, see Connectivity issues when using Amazon Athena with Amazon QuickSight. Accessing AWS resources Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators You can control the AWS resources that Amazon QuickSight can access and scope down access to these resources at a more granular level. In Enterprise edition, you can also set up general access defaults for everyone in your account, and you can set up specific access for individual users and groups. Accessing data sources 1799 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Use the following sections to help you configure your AWS resources to work with Amazon QuickSight. Before you begin, make sure that you have the correct permissions; your system administrator can give you these. To do so, your system administrator creates a policy that enables you to use certain IAM actions. Your system administrator then associates that policy with your user or group in IAM. The required actions are the following: • quicksight:AccountConfigurations – To enable setting default access to AWS resources • quicksight:ScopeDownPolicy – Scoping policies for permissions to AWS resources • You can also bring your own IAM roles into QuickSight. For more information, see Passing IAM roles to Amazon QuickSight To enable or disable the AWS services that Amazon QuickSight can access 1.

Using AWS Secrets Manager secrets instead of database credentials in Amazon QuickSight Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight Administrators and Amazon QuickSight developers AWS Secrets Manager is a secret storage service that you can use to protect database credentials, API keys, and other secret information. Using a key helps you ensure that the secret can't be compromised by someone examining your code, because the secret isn't stored in the code. For an overview, see the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. Amazon QuickSight administrators can grant QuickSight read-only access to secrets they create in Secrets Manager. These secrets can be used in place of database credentials when creating and editing data sources using the QuickSight API. QuickSight supports using secrets with data source types that support credential pair authentication. Jira and ServiceNow are not currently supported. Note If you use AWS Secrets Manager with Amazon QuickSight, you are billed for access and maintenance as described in the AWS Secrets Manager Pricing page.

QuickSight creates an IAM role called aws-quicksight-secretsmanager-role-v0 in your account. It grants users in the account read-only access to the specified secrets and looks similar to the following: { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:secretsmanager:region:accountId:secret:secret_name" Accessing data sources 1806 Amazon QuickSight ] } ] } User Guide When QuickSight users create analyses from or view dashboards that use a data source with secrets, QuickSight assumes this Secrets Manager IAM role. For more information about secret permissions policies, see Authentication and access control for AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. The specified secret in the QuickSight IAM role may have an additional resource policy that denies access. For more information, see Attach a permissions policy to a secret in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. If you're using an AWS managed AWS KMS key to encrypt your secret, QuickSight doesn't require any additional permissions setup in Secrets Manager. If you're using a customer managed key to encrypt your secret, ensure that the QuickSight IAM role, aws-quicksight-secretsmanager-role-v0 has kms:Decrypt permissions. For more information, see Permissions for the KMS key in the AWS Secrets Manager User Guide. For more information about the types of keys used in AWS Key Management Service, see Customer keys and AWS keys in the AWS Key Management Service guide. Creating or updating a data source with secret credentials using the QuickSight API After the QuickSight administrator has granted QuickSight read-only access to Secrets Manager, you can create and update data sources in the API using a secret the administrator selected as credentials. Following is an example API call to create a data source in QuickSight. This example uses the create-data-source API operation. You can also use the update-data-source operation. For more information, see CreateDataSource and UpdateDataSource in the Amazon QuickSight API Reference. The user specified in the permissions in the following API call example can delete, view, and edit data sources for the specified MySQL data source in QuickSight. They can also view and update the data source permissions. Instead of a QuickSight username and password, a secret ARN is used as credentials for the data source. Accessing data sources 1807 Amazon QuickSight User Guide aws quicksight create-data-source --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --data-source-id DATASOURCEID \ --name NAME \ --type MYSQL \ --permissions '[{"Principal": "arn:aws:quicksight:region:accountID:user/ namespace/username", "Actions": ["quicksight:DeleteDataSource", "quicksight:DescribeDataSource", "quicksight:DescribeDataSourcePermissions", "quicksight:PassDataSource", "quicksight:UpdateDataSource", "quicksight:UpdateDataSourcePermissions"]}]' \ --data-source-parameters='{"MySQLParameters":{"Database": "database", "Host":"hostURL", "Port":"port"}}' \ -- credentials='{"SecretArn":"arn:aws:secretsmanager:region:accountID:secret:secretname"}' \ --region us-west-2 In this call, QuickSight authorizes secretsmanager:GetSecretValue access to the secret based on the API caller's IAM policy, not the IAM service role's policy. The IAM service role acts on the account level and is used when an analysis or dashboard is viewed by a user. It cannot be used to authorize secret access when a user creates or updates the data source. When they edit a data source in the QuickSight UI, users can view the secret ARN for data sources that use AWS Secrets Manager as the credential type. However, they can't edit the secret, or select a different secret. If they need to make changes, for example to the database server or port, users first need to choose Credential pair and enter their QuickSight account username and password. Secrets are automatically removed from a data source when the data source is altered in the UI. To restore the secret to the data source, use the update-data-source API operation. What's in the secret QuickSight requires the following JSON format to access your secret: { "username": "username", "password": "password" } Accessing data sources 1808 Amazon QuickSight User Guide The username and password fields are required for QuickSight to access secrets.

Exploring your AWS data in Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Use this section to learn how to explore AWS data in Amazon QuickSight using the AWS Management Console. Using the Explore in QuickSight shortcut, you can access a customizable dashboard template showing your data. Just as with any Amazon QuickSight dashboard, this dashboard can be refreshed on a schedule, published, and shared with other users in your organization. To use this feature, you must first enable Amazon S3 analytics storage class analysis for your Amazon S3 buckets. For more on enabling storage class analysis in Amazon S3, see Amazon Amazon S3 analytics – Storage class analysis in the Amazon Amazon S3 Developer Guide. After you have enabled storage class analysis, you can use Amazon QuickSight to explore your Amazon S3 analytics data. To explore Amazon S3 analytics data in Amazon QuickSight 1. Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/. 2. Choose a bucket to explore. The bucket must have storage class analysis enabled, with at least one filter. Accessing data sources 1809 Amazon QuickSight User Guide 3. Choose the Management tab. 4. Then choose Analytics. 5. Choose Explore in QuickSight. Note If you don't have an Amazon QuickSight account, you're prompted to create one before you can use the dashboard. When you choose the option to explore in Amazon QuickSight, your Amazon S3 analytics data is automatically loaded into the dashboard template. The dashboard contains multiple visualizations to help you to understand the storage access pattern of your bucket. Use the template as is, or customize it to suit your needs. For example, one visual on the default template helps you identify infrequently accessed data. It compares the amount of data retrieved to the amount of storage consumed, for objects of different ages. Accessing data sources 1810 Amazon QuickSight User Guide You can also add your own visualizations to the dashboard. For example, you can break down the data access patterns, using filters for storage class analysis that you already have defined in Amazon S3 analytics. To learn more about using S3 analytics and storage class analysis, see Amazon Amazon S3 analytics – Storage class analysis in the Amazon Amazon S3 Developer Guide. Identity and access management in Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition integrates with your existing directories, using either Microsoft Active Directory or single sign-on (IAM Identity Center) using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). You can use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to further enhance your security, or for custom options such as embedding dashboards.

If they try to sign up for QuickSight Standard Edition or use another form of authentication, they are restricted from signing up. They receive a message explaining that they don't have the right permissions to sign up for QuickSight. Using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Following, you can find an introduction to the concepts involved in using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). This section also covers how to use IAM with Amazon QuickSight. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Amazon QuickSight resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

Administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use Amazon QuickSight resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge. IAM is used with Amazon QuickSight in several ways, including the following: • If your company uses IAM for their identity management, people might have IAM user names and passwords that they use to sign in to Amazon QuickSight. • If you want your Amazon QuickSight users to be automatically created at first sign-in, you can use IAM to create a policy for users who are preauthorized to use |

Audience Use the following to help understand the context of the information provided in this section, and how it applies to your role. How you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) differs depending on the work that you do in Amazon QuickSight. Service user – In some cases, you might use Amazon QuickSight to interact with data, analyses, and dashboards through the Amazon QuickSight by using the browser interface. In these cases, this section provides only background information for you. You don't directly interact with the IAM service, except if you use IAM to sign into Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight administrator – If you're in charge of Amazon QuickSight resources at your company, you probably have full access to Amazon QuickSight. It's your job to determine which Amazon QuickSight features and resources your team members should access. If you have specialized requirements that you can't solve by using the Amazon QuickSight admin panel, then you can work with your administrator to create permissions policies for your Amazon QuickSight users. To learn more about IAM, read this page to understand the basic concepts of IAM. To learn more about how your company can use IAM with Amazon QuickSight, see Using Amazon QuickSight with IAM. administrator – If you're an administrator, you might want to learn details about how you can write policies to manage access to Amazon QuickSight. To view examples of Amazon QuickSight IAM 1816 Amazon QuickSight User Guide identity-based policies that you can use in IAM, see IAM identity-based policies for Amazon QuickSight. Authenticating with identities Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated (signed in to AWS) as the AWS account root user, as an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role. You can sign in to AWS as a federated identity by using credentials provided through an identity source. AWS IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center) users, your company's single sign-on authentication, and your Google or Facebook credentials are examples of federated identities. When you sign in as a federated identity, your administrator previously set up identity federation using IAM roles. When you access AWS by using federation, you are indirectly assuming a role. Depending on the type of user you are, you can sign in to the AWS Management Console or the AWS access portal. For more information about signing in to AWS, see How to sign in to your AWS account in the AWS Sign-In User Guide. If you access AWS programmatically, AWS provides a software development kit (SDK) and a command line interface (CLI) to cryptographically sign your requests by using your credentials. If you don't use AWS tools, you must sign requests yourself. For more information about using the recommended method to sign requests yourself, see AWS Signature Version 4 for API requests in the IAM User Guide. Regardless of the authentication method that you use, you might be required to provide additional security information. For example, AWS recommends that you use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to increase the security of your account. To learn more, see Multi-factor authentication in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide and AWS Multi-factor authentication in IAM in the IAM User Guide. AWS account root user When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity that has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. This identity is called the AWS account root user and is accessed by signing in with the email address and password that you used to create the account. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for your everyday tasks. Safeguard your root user credentials and use them to perform the tasks that only the root user can perform. For the complete list of tasks that require you to sign in as the root user, see Tasks that require root user credentials in the IAM User Guide. IAM 1817 Amazon QuickSight IAM users and groups User Guide An IAM user is an identity within your AWS account |
amazon-quicksight-user-504 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 504 | and is accessed by signing in with the email address and password that you used to create the account. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for your everyday tasks. Safeguard your root user credentials and use them to perform the tasks that only the root user can perform. For the complete list of tasks that require you to sign in as the root user, see Tasks that require root user credentials in the IAM User Guide. IAM 1817 Amazon QuickSight IAM users and groups User Guide An IAM user is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions for a single person or application. Where possible, we recommend relying on temporary credentials instead of creating IAM users who have long-term credentials such as passwords and access keys. However, if you have specific use cases that require long-term credentials with IAM users, we recommend that you rotate access keys. For more information, see Rotate access keys regularly for use cases that require long- term credentials in the IAM User Guide. An IAM group is an identity that specifies a collection of IAM users. You can't sign in as a group. You can use groups to specify permissions for multiple users at a time. Groups make permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For example, you could have a group named IAMAdmins and give that group permissions to administer IAM resources. Users are different from roles. A user is uniquely associated with one person or application, but a role is intended to be assumable by anyone who needs it. Users have permanent long-term credentials, but roles provide temporary credentials. To learn more, see Use cases for IAM users in the IAM User Guide. IAM roles An IAM role is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions. It is similar to an IAM user, but is not associated with a specific person. To temporarily assume an IAM role in the AWS Management Console, you can switch from a user to an IAM role (console). You can assume a role by calling an AWS CLI or AWS API operation or by using a custom URL. For more information about methods for using roles, see Methods to assume a role in the IAM User Guide. IAM roles with temporary credentials are useful in the following situations: • Federated user access – To assign permissions to a federated identity, you create a role and define permissions for the role. When a federated identity authenticates, the identity is associated with the role and is granted the permissions that are defined by the role. For information about roles for federation, see Create a role for a third-party identity provider (federation) in the IAM User Guide. If you use IAM Identity Center, you configure a permission set. To control what your identities can access after they authenticate, IAM Identity Center correlates the permission set to a role in IAM. For information about permissions sets, see Permission sets in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. • Temporary IAM user permissions – An IAM user or role can assume an IAM role to temporarily take on different permissions for a specific task. IAM 1818 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • Cross-account access – You can use an IAM role to allow someone (a trusted principal) in a different account to access resources in your account. Roles are the primary way to grant cross- account access. However, with some AWS services, you can attach a policy directly to a resource (instead of using a role as a proxy). To learn the difference between roles and resource-based policies for cross-account access, see Cross account resource access in IAM in the IAM User Guide. • Cross-service access – Some AWS services use features in other AWS services. For example, when you make a call in a service, it's common for that service to run applications in Amazon EC2 or store objects in Amazon S3. A service might do this using the calling principal's permissions, using a service role, or using a service-linked role. • Forward access sessions (FAS) – When you use an IAM user or role to perform actions in AWS, you are considered a principal. When you use some services, you might perform an action that then initiates another action in a different service. FAS uses the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. FAS requests are only made when a service receives a request that requires interactions with other AWS services or resources to complete. In this case, you must have permissions to perform both actions. For policy details when making FAS requests, see Forward access sessions. • Service role – A service role is an IAM |

When you use some services, you might perform an action that then initiates another action in a different service. FAS uses the permissions of the principal calling an AWS service, combined with the requesting AWS service to make requests to downstream services. FAS requests are only made when a service receives a request that requires interactions with other AWS services or resources to complete. In this case, you must have permissions to perform both actions. For policy details when making FAS requests, see Forward access sessions. • Service role – A service role is an IAM role that a service assumes to perform actions on your behalf. An IAM administrator can create, modify, and delete a service role from within IAM. For more information, see Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service in the IAM User Guide. • Service-linked role – A service-linked role is a type of service role that is linked to an AWS service. The service can assume the role to perform an action on your behalf. Service-linked roles appear in your AWS account and are owned by the service. An IAM administrator can view, but not edit the permissions for service-linked roles. • Applications running on Amazon EC2 – You can use an IAM role to manage temporary credentials for applications that are running on an EC2 instance and making AWS CLI or AWS API requests. This is preferable to storing access keys within the EC2 instance. To assign an AWS role to an EC2 instance and make it available to all of its applications, you create an instance profile that is attached to the instance. An instance profile contains the role and enables programs that are running on the EC2 instance to get temporary credentials. For more information, see Use an IAM role to grant permissions to applications running on Amazon EC2 instances in the IAM User Guide. IAM 1819 Amazon QuickSight Managing access using policies User Guide You control access in AWS by creating policies and attaching them to AWS identities or resources. A policy is an object in AWS that, when associated with an identity or resource, defines their permissions. AWS evaluates these policies when a principal (user, root user, or role session) makes a request. Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied. Most policies are stored in AWS as JSON documents. For more information about the structure and contents of JSON policy documents, see Overview of JSON policies in the IAM User Guide. Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. By default, users and roles have no permissions. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies. The administrator can then add the IAM policies to roles, and users can assume the roles. IAM policies define permissions for an action regardless of the method that you use to perform the operation. For example, suppose that you have a policy that allows the iam:GetRole action. A user with that policy can get role information from the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS API. Identity-based policies Identity-based policies are JSON permissions policy documents that you can attach to an identity, such as an IAM user, group of users, or role. These policies control what actions users and roles can perform, on which resources, and under what conditions. To learn how to create an identity-based policy, see Define custom IAM permissions with customer managed policies in the IAM User Guide. Identity-based policies can be further categorized as inline policies or managed policies. Inline policies are embedded directly into a single user, group, or role. Managed policies are standalone policies that you can attach to multiple users, groups, and roles in your AWS account. Managed policies include AWS managed policies and customer managed policies. To learn how to choose between a managed policy or an inline policy, see Choose between managed policies and inline policies in the IAM User Guide. Resource-based policies Resource-based policies are JSON policy documents that you attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM role trust policies and Amazon S3 bucket policies. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific IAM 1820 Amazon QuickSight User Guide resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must specify a principal in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services. Resource-based policies are inline policies that are located in that service. You can't |
amazon-quicksight-user-506 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 506 | attach to a resource. Examples of resource-based policies are IAM role trust policies and Amazon S3 bucket policies. In services that support resource-based policies, service administrators can use them to control access to a specific IAM 1820 Amazon QuickSight User Guide resource. For the resource where the policy is attached, the policy defines what actions a specified principal can perform on that resource and under what conditions. You must specify a principal in a resource-based policy. Principals can include accounts, users, roles, federated users, or AWS services. Resource-based policies are inline policies that are located in that service. You can't use AWS managed policies from IAM in a resource-based policy. Access control lists (ACLs) Access control lists (ACLs) control which principals (account members, users, or roles) have permissions to access a resource. ACLs are similar to resource-based policies, although they do not use the JSON policy document format. Amazon S3, AWS WAF, and Amazon VPC are examples of services that support ACLs. To learn more about ACLs, see Access control list (ACL) overview in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide. Other policy types AWS supports additional, less-common policy types. These policy types can set the maximum permissions granted to you by the more common policy types. • Permissions boundaries – A permissions boundary is an advanced feature in which you set the maximum permissions that an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity (IAM user or role). You can set a permissions boundary for an entity. The resulting permissions are the intersection of an entity's identity-based policies and its permissions boundaries. Resource-based policies that specify the user or role in the Principal field are not limited by the permissions boundary. An explicit deny in any of these policies overrides the allow. For more information about permissions boundaries, see Permissions boundaries for IAM entities in the IAM User Guide. • Service control policies (SCPs) – SCPs are JSON policies that specify the maximum permissions for an organization or organizational unit (OU) in AWS Organizations. AWS Organizations is a service for grouping and centrally managing multiple AWS accounts that your business owns. If you enable all features in an organization, then you can apply service control policies (SCPs) to any or all of your accounts. The SCP limits permissions for entities in member accounts, including each AWS account root user. For more information about Organizations and SCPs, see Service control policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide. • Resource control policies (RCPs) – RCPs are JSON policies that you can use to set the maximum available permissions for resources in your accounts without updating the IAM policies attached IAM 1821 Amazon QuickSight User Guide to each resource that you own. The RCP limits permissions for resources in member accounts and can impact the effective permissions for identities, including the AWS account root user, regardless of whether they belong to your organization. For more information about Organizations and RCPs, including a list of AWS services that support RCPs, see Resource control policies (RCPs) in the AWS Organizations User Guide. • Session policies – Session policies are advanced policies that you pass as a parameter when you programmatically create a temporary session for a role or federated user. The resulting session's permissions are the intersection of the user or role's identity-based policies and the session policies. Permissions can also come from a resource-based policy. An explicit deny in any of these policies overrides the allow. For more information, see Session policies in the IAM User Guide. Multiple policy types When multiple types of policies apply to a request, the resulting permissions are more complicated to understand. To learn how AWS determines whether to allow a request when multiple policy types are involved, see Policy evaluation logic in the IAM User Guide. Using Amazon QuickSight with IAM Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Before you use IAM to manage access to Amazon QuickSight, you should understand what IAM features are available to use with Amazon QuickSight.

You can use AWS root credentials or IAM user credentials to create an Amazon QuickSight account. AWS root and administrator credentials already have all of the required permissions for managing Amazon QuickSight access to AWS resources. However, we recommend that you protect your root credentials, and instead use IAM user credentials. To do this, you can create a policy and attach it to the IAM user and roles that you plan to use for Amazon QuickSight. The policy must include the appropriate statements for the Amazon QuickSight administrative tasks you need to perform, as described in the following sections. Important Be aware of the following when working with Amazon QuickSight and IAM policies: • Avoid directly modifying a policy that was created by Amazon QuickSight. When you modify it yourself, Amazon QuickSight can't edit it. This inability can cause an issue with the policy. To fix this issue, delete the previously modified policy. • If you get an error on permissions when you try to create an Amazon QuickSight account, see Actions Defined by Amazon QuickSight in the IAM User Guide. • In some cases, you might have an Amazon QuickSight account that you can't access even from the root account (for example, if you accidentally deleted its directory service). In this case, you can delete your old Amazon QuickSight account, then recreate it. For more information, see Deleting your Amazon QuickSight subscription and closing the account. Actions Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Action element of a JSON policy describes the actions that you can use to allow or deny access in a policy. Policy actions usually have the same name as the associated AWS API operation. There are some exceptions, such as permission-only actions that don't have a matching API IAM 1823 Amazon QuickSight User Guide operation. There are also some operations that require multiple actions in a policy. These additional actions are called dependent actions. Include actions in a policy to grant permissions to perform the associated operation. Policy actions in Amazon QuickSight use the following prefix before the action: quicksight:. For example, to grant someone permission to run an Amazon EC2 instance with the Amazon EC2 RunInstances API operation, you include the ec2:RunInstances action in their policy. Policy statements must include either an Action or NotAction element. Amazon QuickSight defines its own set of actions that describe tasks that you can perform with this service. To specify multiple actions in a single statement, separate them with commas as follows: "Action": [ "quicksight:action1", "quicksight:action2"] You can specify multiple actions using wildcards (*). For example, to specify all actions that begin with the word Create, include the following action: "Action": "quicksight:Create*" Amazon QuickSight provides a number of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) actions. All Amazon QuickSight actions are prefixed with quicksight:, such as quicksight:Subscribe. For information about using Amazon QuickSight actions in an IAM policy, see IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight. To see the most up-to-date list of Amazon QuickSight actions, see Actions Defined by Amazon QuickSight in the IAM User Guide. Resources Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. The Resource JSON policy element specifies the object or objects to which the action applies. Statements must include either a Resource or a NotResource element. As a best practice, specify a resource using its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You can do this for actions that support a specific resource type, known as resource-level permissions. IAM 1824 Amazon QuickSight User Guide For actions that don't support resource-level permissions, such as listing operations, use a wildcard (*) to indicate that the statement applies to all resources. "Resource": "*" Following is an example policy. It means that the caller with this policy attached, is able to invoke the CreateGroupMembership operation on any group, provided that the user name they are adding to the group is not user1. { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "quicksight:CreateGroupMembership", "Resource": "arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:aws-account-id:group/default/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "quicksight:UserName": "user1" } } } Some Amazon QuickSight actions, such as those for creating |

IAM 1824 Amazon QuickSight User Guide For actions that don't support resource-level permissions, such as listing operations, use a wildcard (*) to indicate that the statement applies to all resources. "Resource": "*" Following is an example policy. It means that the caller with this policy attached, is able to invoke the CreateGroupMembership operation on any group, provided that the user name they are adding to the group is not user1. { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "quicksight:CreateGroupMembership", "Resource": "arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:aws-account-id:group/default/*", "Condition": { "StringNotEquals": { "quicksight:UserName": "user1" } } } Some Amazon QuickSight actions, such as those for creating resources, cannot be performed on a specific resource. In those cases, you must use the wildcard (*). "Resource": "*" Some API actions involve multiple resources. To specify multiple resources in a single statement, separate the ARNs with commas. "Resource": [ "resource1", "resource2" To see a list of Amazon QuickSight resource types and their Amazon Resource Names (ARNs), see Resources Defined by Amazon QuickSight in the IAM User Guide. To learn with which actions you can specify the ARN of each resource, see Actions Defined by Amazon QuickSight. Condition keys Administrators can use AWS JSON policies to specify who has access to what. That is, which principal can perform actions on what resources, and under what conditions. IAM 1825 Amazon QuickSight User Guide The Condition element (or Condition block) lets you specify conditions in which a statement is in effect. The Condition element is optional. You can create conditional expressions that use condition operators, such as equals or less than, to match the condition in the policy with values in the request. If you specify multiple Condition elements in a statement, or multiple keys in a single Condition element, AWS evaluates them using a logical AND operation. If you specify multiple values for a single condition key, AWS evaluates the condition using a logical OR operation. All of the conditions must be met before the statement's permissions are granted. You can also use placeholder variables when you specify conditions. For example, you can grant an IAM user permission to access a resource only if it is tagged with their IAM user name. For more information, see IAM policy elements: variables and tags in the IAM User Guide. AWS supports global condition keys and service-specific condition keys. To see all AWS global condition keys, see AWS global condition context keys in the IAM User Guide. Amazon QuickSight does not provide any service-specific condition keys, but it does support using some global condition keys. To see all AWS global condition keys, see AWS Global Condition Context Keys in the IAM User Guide. Examples To view examples of Amazon QuickSight identity-based policies, see IAM identity-based policies for Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight policies (resource-based) Amazon QuickSight doesn't support resource-based policies. However, you can use the Amazon QuickSight console to configure access to other AWS resources in your AWS account. Authorization based on Amazon QuickSight tags Amazon QuickSight does not support tagging resources or controlling access based on tags. Amazon QuickSight IAM roles An IAM role is an entity within your AWS account that has specific permissions. You can use IAM roles to group permissions together to make it easier to manage user's access to Amazon QuickSight actions. Amazon QuickSight doesn't support the following role features: IAM 1826 Amazon QuickSight • Service-linked roles. • Service roles. User Guide • Temporary credentials (direct use): However, Amazon QuickSight uses temporary credentials to allow users to assume an IAM role to access embedded dashboards. For more information, see Embedded analytics for Amazon QuickSight. For more information on how Amazon QuickSight uses IAM roles, see Using Amazon QuickSight with IAM and IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight. Passing IAM roles to Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition When your IAM users sign up for Amazon QuickSight, they can choose to use the QuickSight- managed role (this is the default role). Or they can pass an existing IAM role to QuickSight. Use the sections below to pass existing IAM roles to QuickSight Topics • Prerequisites • Attaching additional policies • Using existing IAM roles in Amazon QuickSight Prerequisites For your users to pass IAM roles to QuickSight, your administrator needs to complete the following tasks: • Create an IAM role. For more information about creating IAM roles, see Creating IAM roles in the IAM User Guide. • Attach a trust policy to your IAM role that allows QuickSight to assume the role. Use the following example to create a trust policy for the role. The following example trust policy allows the Amazon QuickSight principal to assume the IAM role that it's attached to. For more information about creating IAM trust policies and attaching them to roles, see Modifying a Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide. IAM 1827 Amazon QuickSight User |
amazon-quicksight-user-509 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 509 | complete the following tasks: • Create an IAM role. For more information about creating IAM roles, see Creating IAM roles in the IAM User Guide. • Attach a trust policy to your IAM role that allows QuickSight to assume the role. Use the following example to create a trust policy for the role. The following example trust policy allows the Amazon QuickSight principal to assume the IAM role that it's attached to. For more information about creating IAM trust policies and attaching them to roles, see Modifying a Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide. IAM 1827 Amazon QuickSight User Guide { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "quicksight.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" } ] } • Assign the following IAM permissions to your administrator (IAM users or roles): • quicksight:UpdateResourcePermissions – This grants IAM users who are QuickSight administrators the permission to update resource-level permissions in QuickSight. For more information about resource types defined by QuickSight, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon QuickSight in the IAM User Guide. • iam:PassRole – This grants users permission to pass roles to QuickSight. For more information, see Granting a user permissions to pass a role to an AWS service in the IAM User Guide. • iam:ListRoles – (Optional) This grants users permission to see a list of existing roles in QuickSight. If this permission is not provided, they can use an ARN to use existing IAM roles. Following is an example IAM permissions policy that allows managing resource-level permissions, listing IAM roles, and passing IAM roles in Amazon QuickSight. { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:ListRoles", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::account-id:role:*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "iam:PassRole", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::account-id:role/path/role-name", "Condition": { IAM 1828 Amazon QuickSight User Guide "StringEquals": { "iam:PassedToService": [ "quicksight.amazonaws.com" ] } } }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "quicksight:UpdateResourcePermissions", "Resource": "*" } ] } For more examples of IAM policies that you can use with QuickSight, see IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight. For more information about assigning permissions policies to users or user groups, see Changing permissions for an IAM user in the IAM User Guide. After your administrator completes the prerequisites, your IAM users can pass IAM roles to QuickSight. They do so by choosing an IAM role when they sign up for QuickSight, or by switching to an IAM role on their QuickSight Security and Permissions page. To learn how to switch to an existing IAM role in QuickSight, see the following section. Attaching additional policies If you're using another AWS service, such as Amazon Athena or Amazon S3, you can create a permissions policy that grants QuickSight permission to perform specific actions. You can then attach the policy to the IAM roles that you later pass to QuickSight. The following are examples of how you can set up and attach additional permissions policies to your IAM roles. For an example managed policy for QuickSight in Athena, see AWSQuicksightAthenaAccess Managed Policy in the Amazon Athena User Guide. IAM users can access this role in QuickSight using the following ARN: arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/ AWSQuicksightAthenaAccess. The following is an example of a permissions policy for QuickSight in Amazon S3. For more information about using IAM with Amazon S3, see Identity and access management in Amazon S3 in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

They can also purchase additional Amazon QuickSight user subscriptions, purchase SPICE capacity, and cancel the subscription to Amazon QuickSight for your AWS account. You can use an AWS user or group policy to give users the ability to add themselves as administrators of Amazon QuickSight. Users that have been granted this ability can only add themselves as administrators and can't use this policy to add others. Their accounts become active and billable the first time that they open Amazon QuickSight. To set up self-provisioning, give these users permission to use the quicksight:CreateAdmin action. Granting permissions with IAM actions only affects the specified user's ability to create a QuickSight account for their specified role. After a user has created and logged into their account, you use a separate set of permissions within QuickSight to manage QuickSight-specific features.

Self-provisioning an Amazon QuickSight author Amazon QuickSight authors can create data sources, data sets, analyses, and dashboards. They can share analyses and dashboards with other Amazon QuickSight users in your Amazon QuickSight account. However, they don't have access to the Manage Amazon QuickSight menu. They can't change account settings, manage accounts, purchase additional Amazon QuickSight user subscriptions or SPICE capacity, or cancel the subscription to Amazon QuickSight for your AWS account. You can use an AWS user or group policy to give users the ability to create an Amazon QuickSight author account for themselves. Their accounts become active and billable the first time they open Amazon QuickSight. To set up self-provisioning, you need to give them permission to use the quicksight:CreateUser action. Self-provisioning an Amazon QuickSight read-only user Amazon QuickSight read-only users or readers can view and manipulate dashboards that are shared with them, but they can't make any changes or save a dashboard for further analysis. Amazon QuickSight readers can't create data sources, data sets, analyses, or visuals. They can't do any administrative tasks. Choose this role for people who are consumers of the dashboards but don't author their own analysis, for example, executives. IAM 1848 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If you are using Microsoft Active Directory with Amazon QuickSight, you can manage read-only permissions by using a group. Otherwise, you can bulk-invite users to use Amazon QuickSight. You can also use an AWS user or group policy to give people the ability to create an Amazon QuickSight reader account for themselves. Reader accounts become active and billable the first time they open Amazon QuickSight. If you decide to upgrade or downgrade a user, billing for that user is prorated for the month. To set up self-provisioning, you need to give them permission to use the quicksight:CreateReader action. Readers that are used to automatically or programmatically refresh dashboards for near real- time use cases must choose capacity pricing. For readers under user pricing, each reader is limited to manual use by one individual only. For more information about user and capacity pricing, see Amazon QuickSight Pricing. Troubleshooting Amazon QuickSight identity and access Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Use the following information to help you diagnose and fix common issues that you might encounter when working with Amazon QuickSight and IAM.

Identity management in Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Amazon QuickSight is an AWS IAM Identity Center enabled application. We recommend that you integrate new QuickSight subscriptions with for identity management. Use IAM Identity Center to configure an external identity provider or to create users in the IAM Identity Center identity store. When QuickSight is configured with IAM Identity Center, users and groups created in IAM Identity Center are used to share assets and to assign users to roles in QuickSight. IAM Identity Center is supported in QuickSight Enterprise Edition subscriptions. For more information about IAM Identity Center, see AWS IAM Identity Center. Following is a list of other supported identity configurations in Amazon QuickSight: • IAM (Standard and Enterprise editions) • IAM federation (Standard and Enterprise editions) • AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (Enterprise Edition only) Note In the regions listed below, QuickSight accounts can only use IAM Identity Center for identity and access management.

IAM Identity Center is the recommended approach for workforce authentication and authorization on AWS for organizations of any size and type. To learn more about IAM Identity Center, see AWS IAM Identity Center. Configure QuickSight and IAM Identity Center so that you can sign up for a new QuickSight account with an IAM Identity Center configured identity source. You can only sign up for QuickSight with IAM Identity Center using the same region as your IAM Identity Center instance. With IAM Identity Center, you can configure your external identity provider as an identity source. You can also use IAM Identity Center as an identity store if you don't want to use a third-party identity provider with QuickSight. Identity methods can't be changed after your account is created. When you integrate your QuickSight account with IAM Identity Center, QuickSight account administrators can create a new QuickSight account that automatically has the identity provider's groups available. This simplifies asset sharing at scale in Amazon QuickSight. Access to some sections of the QuickSight administration console is restricted by IAM permissions.

Using external identity federation and single sign-on with Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight supports identity federation in both Standard and Enterprise editions. When you use federated users, you can manage users with your enterprise identity provider (IdP) and use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to authenticate users when they sign in to Amazon QuickSight. You can use a third-party identity provider that supports Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) to provide an onboarding flow for your Amazon QuickSight users. Such identity Identity management 1854 Amazon QuickSight User Guide providers include Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services, Okta, and Ping One Federation Server. With identity federation, your users get one-click access to their Amazon QuickSight applications using their existing identity credentials. You also have the security benefit of identity authentication by your identity provider. You can control which users have access to Amazon QuickSight using your existing identity provider. Use the following topics to understand using an existing federation with AWS: • Identity federation in AWS on the AWS website • Providing access to externally authenticated users (identity federation) in the IAM User Guide • Enabling SAML 2.0 federated users to access the AWS Management Console in the IAM User Guide For information from some common providers, see the following third-party documentation: • CA – Enabling SAML 2.0 HTTP Post Binding • Okta – Planning a SAML deployment • Ping – Amazon integrations Topics • IAM federation • Using Active Directory with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition • Directory integration with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition • Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) with Amazon QuickSight IAM federation Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight.

In this scenario, your users initiate the sign-on process from the identity provider's portal. After the users are authenticated, they sign in to QuickSight. After QuickSight checks that they are authorized, your users can access QuickSight. Beginning with a user signing into the IdP, authentication flows through these steps: 1. The user browses to https://applications.example.com and signs on to the IdP. At this point, the user isn't signed in to the service provider. 2. The federation service and the IdP authenticate the user: a. The federation service requests authentication from the organization's identity store. b.

AWS Sign-In receives the SAML request, processes the request, authenticates the user, and forwards the authentication token to the Amazon QuickSight service. 4. Amazon QuickSight accepts the authentication token from AWS and presents QuickSight to the user. From the user's perspective, the process happens transparently. The user starts at your organization's internal portal and lands at an Amazon QuickSight application portal, without ever having to supply any AWS credentials. In the following diagram, you can find an authentication flow between Amazon QuickSight and a third-party identity provider (IdP). In this example, the administrator has set up a sign-in page to access Amazon QuickSight, called applications.example.com. When a user signs in, the sign- in page posts a request to a federation service that complies with SAML 2.0. The end user initiates authentication from the sign-on page of the IdP. Identity management 1857 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Setting up IdP federation using IAM and QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. You can use an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role and a relay state URL to configure an identity provider (IdP) that is compliant with SAML 2.0. The role grants users permissions to access Amazon QuickSight. The relay state is the portal that the user is forwarded to, after successful authentication by AWS. Topics • Prerequisites • Step 1: Create a SAML provider in AWS • Step 2: Configure permissions in AWS for your federated users • Step 3: Configure the SAML IdP • Step 4: Create assertions for the SAML authentication response • Step 5: Configure the relay state of your federation Prerequisites Before configuring your SAML 2.0 connection, do the following: • Configure your IdP to establish a trust relationship with AWS: • Inside your organization's network, configure your identity store, such as Windows Active Directory, to work with a SAML-based IdP. SAML-based IdPs include Active Directory Federation Services, Shibboleth, and so on. Identity management 1858 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • Using your IdP, generate a metadata document that describes your organization as an identity provider. • Set up SAML 2.0 authentication, using the same steps as for the AWS Management Console. When this process is complete, you can configure your relay state to match the relay state of Amazon QuickSight. For more information, see Step 5: Configure the relay state of your federation. • Create an Amazon QuickSight account and note the name to use when you configure your IAM policy and IdP. For more information on creating an Amazon QuickSight account, see Signing up for an Amazon QuickSight subscription. After you create the setup to federate to the AWS Management Console as outlined in the tutorial, you can edit the relay state provided in the tutorial. You do so with the relay state of Amazon QuickSight, described in step 5 following. For more information, see the following resources: • Integrating Third-Party SAML Solution Providers with AWS in the IAM User Guide. • Troubleshooting SAML 2.0 federation with AWS, also in the IAM User Guide. • Setting up trust between ADFS and AWS and using Active Directory credentials to connect to Amazon Athena with ODBC driver – This walkthrough article is helpful, although you don't need to set up Athena in order to use QuickSight. Step 1: Create a SAML provider in AWS Your SAML identity provider defines your organization's IdP to AWS. It does so by using the metadata document that you previously generated using your IdP. To create a SAML provider in AWS 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/iam/. 2. Create a new SAML provider, which is an entity in IAM that holds information about your organization's identity provider. For more information, see Creating SAML Identity Providers in the IAM User Guide. 3. As part of this process, upload the metadata document produced by the IdP software in your organization noted in the previous section. Identity management 1859 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Step 2: Configure permissions in AWS for your federated |
amazon-quicksight-user-517 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 517 | previously generated using your IdP. To create a SAML provider in AWS 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/iam/. 2. Create a new SAML provider, which is an entity in IAM that holds information about your organization's identity provider. For more information, see Creating SAML Identity Providers in the IAM User Guide. 3. As part of this process, upload the metadata document produced by the IdP software in your organization noted in the previous section. Identity management 1859 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Step 2: Configure permissions in AWS for your federated users Next, create an IAM role that establishes a trust relationship between IAM and your organization's IdP. This role identifies your IdP as a principal (trusted entity) for the purposes of federation. The role also defines which users authenticated by your organization's IdP are allowed to access Amazon QuickSight. For more information about creating a role for a SAML IdP, see Creating a Role for SAML 2.0 Federation in the IAM User Guide. After you have created the role, you can limit the role to have permissions only to Amazon QuickSight by attaching an inline policy to the role. The following sample policy document provides access to Amazon QuickSight. This policy allows the user access to Amazon QuickSight and allows them to create both author accounts and reader accounts. Note In the following example, replace <YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID> with your 12-digit AWS account ID (with no hyphens ‘‐’). { "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "quicksight:CreateUser" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:quicksight::<YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:user/${aws:userid}" ] } ], "Version": "2012-10-17" } If you want to provide access to Amazon QuickSight and also the ability to create Amazon QuickSight admins, authors (standard users), and readers, you can use the following policy example. Identity management 1860 Amazon QuickSight User Guide { "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "quicksight:CreateAdmin" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:quicksight::<YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:user/${aws:userid}" ] } ], "Version": "2012-10-17" } You can view account details in the AWS Management Console. After you have set up SAML and the IAM policy or policies, you don't need to invite users manually. The first time that users open Amazon QuickSight, they are provisioned automatically, using the highest level permissions in the policy. For example, if they have permissions to both quicksight:CreateUser and quicksight:CreateReader, they are provisioned as authors. If they also have permissions to quicksight:CreateAdmin, they are provisioned as admins. Each permission level includes the ability to create the same level user and below. For example, an author can add other authors or readers. Users who are invited manually are created in the role assigned by the person who invited them. They don't need to have policies that grant them permissions. Step 3: Configure the SAML IdP After you create the IAM role, update your SAML IdP about AWS as a service provider. To do so, install the saml-metadata.xml file found at https://signin.aws.amazon.com/static/saml- metadata.xml. To update the IdP metadata, see the instructions provided by your IdP. Some providers give you the option to type the URL, after which the IdP gets and installs the file for you. Others require you to download the file from the URL and then provide it as a local file. For more information, see your IdP documentation. Identity management 1861 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Step 4: Create assertions for the SAML authentication response Next, configure the information that the IdP passes as SAML attributes to AWS as part of the authentication response. For more information, see Configuring SAML Assertions for the Authentication Response in the IAM User Guide. Step 5: Configure the relay state of your federation Finally, configure the relay state of your federation to point to the QuickSight relay state URL. After successful authentication by AWS, the user is directed to Amazon QuickSight, defined as the relay state in the SAML authentication response. The relay state URL for Amazon QuickSight is as follows. https://quicksight.aws.amazon.com Initiating sign-on from Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. In this scenario, your user initiates the sign-on process from an Amazon QuickSight application portal without being signed on to the identity provider. In this case, the user has a federated account managed by a third-party IdP. The user might have a user account on QuickSight. QuickSight sends an authentication request to the IdP. After the user is authenticated, QuickSight opens. Beginning with the user signing into QuickSight, authentication flows through these steps: Identity management 1862 Amazon QuickSight User Guide 1. The user opens QuickSight. At this point, the user isn't signed in to the IdP. 2. The user attempts to sign in to QuickSight. 3.

The federation service and the IdP authenticate the user: a. The federation service requests authentication from the organization's identity store. b. The identity store authenticates the user and returns the authentication response to the federation service. c. When authentication is successful, the federation service posts the SAML assertion to the user's browser. d. The user's browser posts the SAML assertion to the AWS Sign-In SAML endpoint (https:// signin.aws.amazon.com/saml). e. AWS Sign-In receives the SAML request, processes the request, authenticates the user, and forwards the authentication token to the Amazon QuickSight service. 5. Amazon QuickSight accepts the authentication token from AWS and presents QuickSight to the user. From the user's perspective, the process happens transparently. The user starts at an Amazon QuickSight application portal. Amazon QuickSight negotiates authentication with your organization's federation service and AWS. QuickSight opens, without the user needing to supply any additional credentials. Setting up service provider–initiated federation with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. Identity management 1863 Amazon QuickSight User Guide After you have finished configuring your identity provider with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can set up service provider–initiated sign in through Amazon QuickSight Enterprise Edition. For QuickSight-initiated IAM federation to work, you need to authorize QuickSight to send the authentication request to your IdP. A QuickSight administrator can configure this by adding the following information provided by the IdP: • The IdP URL – QuickSight redirects users to this URL for authentication. • The relay state parameter – This parameter relays the state that the browser session was in when it was redirected for authentication. The IdP redirects the user back to the original state after authentication. The state is provided as a URL. The following table shows the standard authentication URL and relay state parameter for redirecting the user to the Amazon QuickSight URL that you provide.

The configuration page in QuickSight provides you with test URLs based on your entries, so you can test the settings before you turn on Identity management 1864 Amazon QuickSight User Guide the feature. To make the process even more seamless, QuickSight provides a parameter (enable- sso=0) to temporarily turn off QuickSight initiated IAM federation, in case you need to disable it temporarily. To set up QuickSight as a service provider that can initiate IAM federation for an existing IdP 1. Make sure that you already have IAM federation set up in your IdP, in IAM, and QuickSight. To test this setup, check if you can share a dashboard with another person in your company's domain. 2. Open QuickSight, and choose Manage QuickSight from your profile menu at upper right. To perform this procedure, you need to be a QuickSight administrator. If you aren't, you can't see Manage QuickSight under your profile menu. 3. Choose Single sign-on (IAM federation) from the navigation pane. For Configuration, IdP URL, enter the URL that your IdP provides to authenticate users. For IdP URL, enter the parameter that your IdP provides to relay state, for example RelayState. The actual name of the parameter is provided by your IdP. 4. 5. 6. Test signing in: • To test signing in with your identity provider, use the custom URL provided in Test starting with your IdP. You should arrive at the start page for QuickSight, for example https:// quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/start. • To test signing in with QuickSight first, use the custom URL provided in Test the end-to-end experience. The enable-sso parameter is appended to the URL. If enable-sso=1, IAM federation attempts to authenticate. 7. Choose Save to keep your settings.

Tutorial: Amazon QuickSight and IAM identity federation Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight Administrators and Amazon QuickSight developers Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. In the following tutorial, you can find a walkthrough for setting up the IdP Okta as a federation service for Amazon QuickSight. Although this tutorial shows the integration of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Okta, you can also replicate this solution using your choice of SAML 2.0 IdPs. In the following procedure, you create an app in the Okta IdP using their "AWS Account Federation" shortcut. Okta describes this integration app as follows: "By federating Okta to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts, end users get single sign-on access to all their assigned AWS roles with their Okta credentials. In each AWS account, administrators set up federation and configure AWS roles to trust Okta. When users sign in to AWS, they get Okta single sign-in experience to see their assigned AWS roles. They can then select a desired role, which defined their permissions for the duration of their authenticated session. Customers with large numbers of AWS Accounts, check out the AWS Single Sign-On app as an alternative." (https://www.okta.com/aws/) Identity management 1866 Amazon QuickSight User Guide To create an Okta app using Okta's "AWS Account Federation" application shortcut 1. Sign in to your Okta dashboard.

Sign in to your Okta Applications dashboard with a user that has been granted federated access. You should see a new application with your label, for example AWS Account Federation - QuickSight. 3. Choose the application icon to launch AWS Account Federation - QuickSight. You can now manage identities using Okta and use federated access with Amazon QuickSight. Identity management 1874 Amazon QuickSight User Guide The following procedure is an optional part of this tutorial. If you follow its steps, you authorize QuickSight to forward authorizations requests to the IdP on behalf of your users. Using this method, users can sign in to QuickSight with no need to sign in using the IdP page first. (Optional) To set up QuickSight to send authentication requests to Okta 1. Open QuickSight, and choose Manage QuickSight from your profile menu. 2. Choose Single sign-on (IAM federation) from the navigation pane. 3. For Configuration, IdP URL, enter the URL that your IdP provides to authenticate users, for example https://dev-1-----0.okta.com/home/amazon_aws/0oabababababaGQei5d5/282. You can find this in your Okta app page, on the General tab, in Embed Link. 4. For IdP URL, enter RelayState. 5. Do one of the following: • To test signing in with your identity provider first, use the custom URL provided in Test starting with your IdP. You should arrive at the start page for QuickSight, for example https://quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/start. • To test signing in with QuickSight first, use the custom URL provided in Test the end-to- end experience. The enable-sso parameter is appended to the URL. If enable-sso=1, IAM federation attempts to authenticate. If enable-sso=0, QuickSight doesn't send the authentication request, and you sign in to QuickSight as before. 6. For Status, choose ON. 7. Choose Save to keep your settings. You can create a deep link to a QuickSight dashboard to allow users to use IAM federation to connect directly to specific dashboards. To do this, you append the relay state flag and dashboard URL to the Okta single sign-on URL, as described following. To create a deep link to a QuickSight dashboard for single sign-on 1. Locate the Okta application’s single sign-on (IAM federation) URL in the metadata.xml file that you downloaded beginning of the tutorial. You can find the URL near the bottom of the file, in the element named md:SingleSignOnService. The attribute is named Location and the value ends with /sso/saml, as shown in the following example. Identity management 1875 Amazon QuickSight User Guide <md:SingleSignOnService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP- Redirect" Location="https://dev-0000001.okta.com/app/amazon_aws/ abcdef2hATwiVft645d5/sso/saml"/> 2. Take the value of the IAM federation URL and append ?RelayState= followed by the URL of your QuickSight dashboard. The RelayState parameter relays the state (the URL) that the user was in when they were redirected to the authentication URL. 3. To the new IAM federation with the relay state added, append the URL of your QuickSight dashboard. The resulting URL should resemble the following. https://dev-1-----0.okta.com/app/amazon_aws/abcdef2hATwiVft645d5/ sso/saml?RelayState=https://us-west-2.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/ analyses/12a12a2a-121a-212a-121a-abcd12abc1ab 4. If the link you create doesn't open, check that you are using the most recent IAM federation URL from the metadata.xml. Also check that the username you use to sign in isn't assigned in more than one IAM federation Okta app. Configuring email syncing for federated users in Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. In Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition, as an administrator you can restrict new users from using personal email addresses when provisioning through their identity provider (IdP) directly to QuickSight. QuickSight then uses the preconfigured email addresses passed through the IdP when provisioning new users to your account. For example, you can make it so that only corporate- Identity management 1876 Amazon QuickSight User Guide assigned email addresses are used when users are provisioned to your QuickSight account through your IdP. Note Make sure that your users are federating directly to QuickSight through their IdP. Federating to the AWS Management Console through their IdP and then clicking into QuickSight results in an error and they won't be able to access QuickSight. When you configure email syncing for federated users in QuickSight, users who log in to your QuickSight account for the first |
amazon-quicksight-user-523 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 523 | provisioning new users to your account. For example, you can make it so that only corporate- Identity management 1876 Amazon QuickSight User Guide assigned email addresses are used when users are provisioned to your QuickSight account through your IdP. Note Make sure that your users are federating directly to QuickSight through their IdP. Federating to the AWS Management Console through their IdP and then clicking into QuickSight results in an error and they won't be able to access QuickSight. When you configure email syncing for federated users in QuickSight, users who log in to your QuickSight account for the first time have preassigned email addresses. These are used to register their accounts. With this approach, users can manually bypass by entering an email address. Also, users can't use an email address that might differ from the email address prescribed by you, the administrator. QuickSight supports provisioning through an IdP that supports SAML or OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication. To configure email addresses for new users when provisioning through an IdP, you update the trust relationship for the IAM role that they use with AssumeRoleWithSAML or AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity. Then you add a SAML attribute or OIDC token in their IdP. Last, you turn on email syncing for federated users in QuickSight. The following procedures describe these steps in detail. Step 1: Update the trust relationship for the IAM role with AssumeRoleWithSAML or AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity You can configure email addresses for your users to use when provisioning through your IdP to QuickSight. To do this, add the sts:TagSession action to the trust relationship for the IAM role that you use with AssumeRoleWithSAML or AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity. By doing this, you can pass in principal tags when users assume the role. The following example illustrates an updated IAM role where the IdP is Okta. To use this example, update the Federated Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with the ARN for your service provider. You can replace items in red with your AWS and IdP service-specific information. { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ Identity management 1877 Amazon QuickSight { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::account-id:saml-provider/Okta" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithSAML", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "SAML:aud": "https://signin.aws.amazon.com/saml" User Guide } } }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::account-id:saml-provider/Okta" }, "Action": "sts:TagSession", "Condition": { "StringLike": { "aws:RequestTag/Email": "*" } } } ] } Step 2: Add a SAML attribute or OIDC token for the IAM principal tag in your IdP After you update the trust relationship for the IAM role as described in the preceding section, add a SAML attribute or OIDC token for the IAM Principal tag in your IdP. The following examples illustrate a SAML attribute and an OIDC token. To use these examples, replace the email address with a variable in your IdP that points to a user's email address. You can replace items highlighted in red with your information. • SAML attribute: The following example illustrates a SAML attribute. <Attribute Name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/ PrincipalTag:Email"><AttributeValue>john.doe@example.com</AttributeValue></Attribute> Identity management 1878 Amazon QuickSight Note User Guide If you're using Okta as your IdP, make sure to turn on a feature flag in your Okta user account to use SAML. For more information, see Okta and AWS Partner to Simplify Access Via Session Tags on the Okta blog. • OIDC token: The following example illustrates an OIDC token example. "https://aws.amazon.com/tags": {"principal_tags": {"Email": ["john.doe@example.com"] Step 3: Turn on email syncing for federated users in QuickSight As described preceding, update the trust relationship for the IAM role and add a SAML attribute or OIDC token for the IAM Principal tag in your IdP. Then turn on email syncing for federated users in QuickSight as described in the following procedure. To turn on email syncing for federated users 1. From any page in QuickSight, choose your username at top right, and then choose Manage QuickSight. 2. Choose Single sign-on (IAM federation) in the menu at left. 3. On the Service Provider Initiated IAM federation page, for Email Syncing for Federated Users, choose ON. When email syncing for federated users is on, QuickSight uses the email addresses that you configured in steps 1 and 2 when provisioning new users to your account. Users can't enter their own email addresses. When email syncing for federated users is off, QuickSight asks users to input their email address manually when provisioning new users to your account. They can use any email addresses that they want. Using Active Directory with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition Applies to: Enterprise Edition Identity management 1879 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight.

Using Active Directory with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition Applies to: Enterprise Edition Identity management 1879 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition supports both AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory and Active Directory Connector. To create a new directory to be your identity manager for Amazon QuickSight, use AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also known as AWS Managed Microsoft AD. This is an Active Directory host in the AWS Cloud that offers most of the same functionality of Active Directory. Currently, you can connect to Active Directory in any AWS Region supported by Amazon QuickSight, except for Asia Pacific (Singapore). When you create a directory, you use it with a virtual private cloud (VPC). For more information, see VPC. If you have an existing directory that you want to use for Amazon QuickSight, you can use Active Directory Connector. This service redirects directory requests to your Active Directory—in another AWS Region or on-premises—without caching any information in the cloud. For a walkthrough about creating and managing a directory with AWS Managed Microsoft AD, see Use an AWS Managed Microsoft AD with Amazon QuickSight? in the AWS Knowledge Center. When you use AWS Directory Service to launch a directory, AWS creates an organizational unit (OU) with the same name as your domain. AWS also creates an administrative account with delegated administrative rights for the OU. You can create accounts, groups, and policies within the OU by using Active Directory users and groups. For more information, see Best Practices for AWS Managed Microsoft AD in the Directory Service Administration Guide. After you establish your directory, you use it with Amazon QuickSight by creating at least three groups for users: • Amazon QuickSight admins – Admins can change account settings, manage accounts. Admins can also purchase additional Amazon QuickSight user subscriptions or SPICE capacity, or cancel the subscription to Amazon QuickSight for your AWS account. Identity management 1880 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • Amazon QuickSight authors – Amazon QuickSight authors can create data sources, datasets, analyses, and dashboards. They can share analyses and dashboards with other Amazon QuickSight users. • Amazon QuickSight readers – Readers can view and interact with dashboards that were created by someone else. You can add or refine access by applying IAM policies. For example, you can use IAM policies to allow users to subscribe themselves. When you subscribe to Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition and choose Active Directory as your identity provider, you can associate your AD groups with Amazon QuickSight. You can also add or change your AD groups later on. Directory integration with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight Enterprise supports the following options: • AWS Directory Service • AWS Directory Service with AD Connector • On-premises Active Directory with IAM federation or AD Connector • IAM federation using AWS IAM Identity Center or another third-party federation service Identity management 1881 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If you want to use IAM federation with an on-premises Active Directory, you implement AWS Directory Service as a separate Active Directory with a trust relationship to the on-premises Active Directory. If you want to avoid using a trust relationship, you can deploy a standalone domain for authentication within AWS. Then you can create users and groups in Active Directory. You'd then map them to users and groups in Amazon QuickSight. In this example, users authenticate using their Active Directory login credentials. To make access to Amazon QuickSight transparent to your users, use IAM federation in this scenario. Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) with Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition Intended audience: System administrators Note IAM identity federation doesn't support syncing identity provider groups with Amazon QuickSight. There are several ways that you can use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with Amazon QuickSight. You can use it with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). You can use it with AD Connector or your AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also known as AWS Microsoft Active Directory or AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory. And if you use an external identity provider (IdP), AWS doesn't need to have any information about MFA because that is part of the authentication handled by the IdP. For more information, see the following: • Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) in AWS in the IAM User Guide • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for AWS Managed Microsoft AD in the AWS Directory Service Administration Guide • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for AD Connector in the AWS Directory Service Administration |

For more information, see the following: • Using multi-factor authentication (MFA) in AWS in the IAM User Guide • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for AWS Managed Microsoft AD in the AWS Directory Service Administration Guide • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for AD Connector in the AWS Directory Service Administration Guide Identity management 1882 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If you're a developer, see the following: • How do I use an MFA token to authenticate access to my AWS resources through the AWS CLI in the AWS Knowledge Center • Configuring MFA-protected API access in the IAM User Guide Managing user access inside Amazon QuickSight Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators QuickSight administrators manage user access in QuickSight. User access management in QuickSight is determined by your QuickSight account identity configuration. For accounts that use IAM Identity Center or Active Directory, groups are assigned to QuickSight roles. Groups can be assigned the Admin, Author, Reader, Admin Pro, Author Pro, or Reader Pro roles. For more informtion about Pro roles in QuickSight see Get started with Generative BI. For more information about integrating your QuickSight account with IAM Identity Center, see Managing access for IAM Identity Center users. QuickSight accounts that use QuickSight and IAM users create users directly in QuickSight. These users and their roles are managed at the user level. For more details, see Managing access for QuickSight and IAM users. Topics • Managing access for IAM Identity Center users • Managing access for QuickSight and IAM users Managing access for IAM Identity Center users Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Managing user access 1883 Amazon QuickSight User Guide AWS administrators can use this topic to learn more about managing accounts that are integrated with IAM Identity Center. The information in this section also applies to QuickSight accounts that use Active Directory. To manage QuickSight users, you must have administrative privileges in Amazon QuickSight and also the appropriate AWS permissions. For more information about the necessary AWS permissions, see IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight. If you are using directory groups, you need to be a network administrator. Each Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition account can have an unlimited number of users. User names that contain a semicolon ( ; ) aren't supported. Use the following topics to add, view, and deactivate Amazon QuickSight users. Topics • Adding users • Managing user access • Deactivating user accounts • Changing a user's role • Deleting Enterprise accounts Important You can't remap Amazon QuickSight users or groups from one identity store to another. For example, if you are migrating from an on-premises Active Directory to AWS Directory Service, or the other way around, you unsubscribe and resubscribe to Amazon QuickSight. You do this because even if the user's aliases remain the same, the underlying identity data changes. To make the transition easier, request in advance that your users document all their Amazon QuickSight assets and settings before the migration. Adding users With IAM Identity Center, add users to QuickSight by associating their IAM Identity Center group to an Admin, Admin Pro, Author, Author Pro, Reader, or Reader Pro role in QuickSight. All users in the selected groups are authorized to sign in to Amazon QuickSight. For more information about Pro roles in QuickSight see Get started with Generative BI. Managing user access 1884 Amazon QuickSight User Guide To see which groups are integrated with your Amazon QuickSight account, follow the procedure in Managing user access. Managing user access Use the following procedure to view groups that are assigned to a role that grants access to Amazon QuickSight. 1. Open the QuickSight console. 2. Choose Manage QuickSight, and then choose Manage Users. 3. Choose Manage role groups. 4. In the Manage role groups page, use the tables to add or remove groups in IAM Identity Center or Active Directory from the Admin, User, or Reader roles in QuickSight. Deactivating user accounts Deactivating a QuickSight group or user account removes that group or user's access to Amazon QuickSight resources, like analyses or data sets. IAM Identity Center or Active Directory users that are removed from a group that grants them access to QuickSight lose access to QuickSight. These users appear in the Inactive users list in QuickSight until the first day of the following month. After that, the deactivated users are automatically removed from the Inactive users list. Before you deactivate a user, you can reassign their resources to another user with the asset management console. |
amazon-quicksight-user-526 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 526 | roles in QuickSight. Deactivating user accounts Deactivating a QuickSight group or user account removes that group or user's access to Amazon QuickSight resources, like analyses or data sets. IAM Identity Center or Active Directory users that are removed from a group that grants them access to QuickSight lose access to QuickSight. These users appear in the Inactive users list in QuickSight until the first day of the following month. After that, the deactivated users are automatically removed from the Inactive users list. Before you deactivate a user, you can reassign their resources to another user with the asset management console. If you later need to reactivate a QuickSight user's account, put the user into a group with access to Amazon QuickSight. Doing this restores their access to Amazon QuickSight and to any existing resources that are still associated with that user. Note With IAM Identity Center integrated into your QuickSight account or Active Directory users, you can change a user's role type by moving them to a group that is associated with a different QuickSight role. If a user is in multiple groups that are mapped to different QuickSight role types, the user is able to access QuickSight with the role that offers the broadest level of access. Accounts that use other identity types can't upgrade or downgrade a user by transferring them between groups. For more information, see Changing a user's role. Managing user access 1885 Amazon QuickSight User Guide You can activate or deactivate multiple users at once by adding or removing one or more IAM Identity Center or Active Directory groups that are associated with a role in Amazon QuickSight. Changing a user's role If you're using IAM Identity Center or Active Directory, you can change a user's role by adding or removing them from a group that's mapped to the role that you want to assign them in QuickSight. You can also perform this task by adding a new group to a role in QuickSight. To do this, you need both administrative privileges in Amazon QuickSight and also appropriate AWS permissions. With IAM Identity Center integrated users, you can change role types for a user by moving them to a group that is associated with a different QuickSight role. If a user belongs to multiple groups that are mapped to different role types, the user is able to access QuickSight with the role that offers the broadest level of access. When you make changes to users or groups in Amazon QuickSight, it can take up to five minutes for the change to take effect. Examples of such changes are the following: • Deleting a user • Changing a user from an admin to an author • Adding or removing group members The five-minute time period allows changes to propagate throughout the system. Deleting Enterprise accounts If a user is deleted from IAM Identity Center or Active Directory or is removed from a group that's associated with a role in QuickSight, the user no longer exists in QuickSight. You do not need to delete the user in the QuickSight application. The deleted user will appear in the Inactive users list in QuickSight until the first day of the following month. After that date passes, the user is automatically removed from the list.

For more information about Pro roles in QuickSight, see Get started with Generative BI. There are some differences in the administrative tasks that IAM users and Amazon QuickSight administrators can perform. These differences occur because some administrative tasks require permissions in AWS, which Amazon QuickSight–only users lack. The differences are these: • QuickSight administrators can manage users, SPICE capacity, and subscriptions. Managing user access 1888 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • IAM users with administrative permissions can also manage users, SPICE capacity, and subscriptions. In addition, they can manage Amazon QuickSight permissions to AWS resources, upgrade to Enterprise edition, and unsubscribe from Amazon QuickSight. If you want to create a user with administrator permissions with IAM access, check with your AWS administrator. Make sure that the IAM user has the all necessary statements in their IAM permissions policy to work with Amazon QuickSight resources. For more information about what statements are required, see IAM policy examples for Amazon QuickSight. • AUTHOR roles: • AUTHOR– The user is able to author analyses and dashboards in Amazon QuickSight but not perform any administrative tasks in QuickSight. • AUTHOR PRO– The user is able to perform all actions of a QuickSight Author and utilize applicable QuickSight Generative BI capabilities.

Managing user access 1891 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Creating and managing groups in 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.

Choose Create or Update to confirm your choices. To go back without making any changes, choose Back. 7. Once you are done making changes, record the name of the custom permissions profile. Provide the name of the custom permissions profile to API users so that they can apply the custom permissions profile to roles or users. After you create a custom permissions profile, use the QuickSight API to add or change the custom permissions profile that is assigned to a user or role. Users with sufficient permissions can also Customizing access to QuickSight capabilities 1905 Amazon QuickSight User Guide use the AWS::QuickSight::CustomPermissions AWS CloudFormation resource to manage QuickSight custom permissions profiles. Use the following topics to learn more about managing custom permissions profiles with the QuickSight APIs. • Apply a custom permissions profile to a QuickSight role with the QuickSight API • Apply a custom permissions profile to a user with the QuickSight API Apply a custom permissions profile to a QuickSight role with the QuickSight API After you create a custom permissions profile, use the QuickSight API to add or change the custom permissions profile that is assigned to a role. Before you begin, you need to set up and configure the AWS CLI. For more information about installing the AWS CLI, see Install or update the latest version of the AWS CLI and Configure the AWS CLI in the AWS Command Line Interface User guide. You also need permissions to use the QuickSight API. The following example calls the UpdateRoleCustomPermission API to update the custom permissions that are assigned to a role. aws quicksight update-role-custom-permission \ --role ROLE \ --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --namespace default \ --custom-permissions-name PERMISSIONNAME \ --region REGION The following example returns the custom permissions profile that is assigned to a role. aws quicksight describe-role-custom-permission \ --role ROLE \ --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --namespace default \ --region REGION The following example deletes a custom permissions profile from a role. aws quicksight delete-role-custom-permission \ --role ROLE \ Customizing access to QuickSight capabilities 1906 Amazon QuickSight User Guide --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --namespace default \ --region REGION Apply a custom permissions profile to a user with the QuickSight API The following example applies a custom permissions profile to a user. aws quicksight update-user-custom-permission \ --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --namespace default \ --user-name USER_NAME \ --custom-permissions-name myCustomPermission The following example deletes a custom permissions profile from a user. |

The following example updated the custom permissions profile of an existing IAM user. aws quicksight update-user \ --user-name USERNAME \ --role AUTHOR \ --custom-permissions-name custom-permissions-profile-name \ --email EMAIL \ --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ Customizing access to QuickSight capabilities 1907 Amazon QuickSight --namespace default \ User Guide The example below removes an existing user from a permissions profile. aws quicksight update-user \ --user-name USERNAME \ --role AUTHOR \ --unapply-custom-permissions \ --email EMAIL \ --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID \ --namespace default To test the custom permissions that are applied to a role or user, log in to the user's account. When a user logs into QuickSight, they are granted the highest privilege role that they have access to. The highest privileged role a user can be granted is Admin. The lowest privileged role that a user can be granted is reader. For more information about roles in Amazon QuickSight, see Managing user access inside Amazon QuickSight. If you assign a custom permissions profile that restricts data source sharing to the author's role, that author is no longer able to access the controls that allow data source sharing. Instead, the affected author has view-only permissions to the data source. Incident response, logging, and monitoring in Amazon QuickSight Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Amazon QuickSight is integrated with AWS CloudTrail. This service provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Amazon QuickSight. CloudTrail captures all API calls for Amazon QuickSight as events. The calls captured include some calls from the Amazon QuickSight console and all code calls to Amazon QuickSight API operations. If you create a trail, you can enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events to an Amazon S3 bucket, including events for Amazon QuickSight. If you don't configure a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console in Event history. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the request that was made to Amazon QuickSight, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details. Incident response, logging, and monitoring 1908 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Amazon QuickSight doesn’t natively support alerting with Amazon CloudWatch or other external systems. However, it's possible to develop a custom solution to process CloudTrail logs. Amazon QuickSight service status can be viewed on the Service Health Dashboard. By default, the log files delivered by CloudTrail to your bucket are encrypted by Amazon server- side encryption with Amazon S3-managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). To provide a security layer that is directly manageable, you can instead use server-side encryption with AWS KMS–managed keys (SSE-KMS) for your CloudTrail log files. Enabling server-side encryption encrypts the log files but not the digest files with SSE-KMS. Digest files are encrypted with Amazon S3-managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to configure and enable it, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

Tracking non-API events by using CloudTrail logs 1913 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Example: Amazon QuickSight log file entries A trail is a configuration that enables delivery of events as log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. CloudTrail log files contain one or more log entries. An event represents a single request from any source and includes information about the requested action, the date and time of the action, request parameters, and so on. CloudTrail log files aren't an ordered stack trace of the public API calls, so they don't appear in any specific order.

Resilience in Amazon QuickSight Amazon QuickSight is built by AWS and runs on AWS-managed infrastructure. It takes full advantage of the high availability features provided by AWS. The AWS global infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. AWS Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between Availability Zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures. Because Amazon QuickSight is an AWS-managed application, all patches and updates are applied by AWS as needed. For more information about AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see AWS global infrastructure. Infrastructure security in Amazon QuickSight Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight administrators Amazon QuickSight is delivered as a web application, hosted on dedicated Amazon EC2 hosts, separate from AWS virtual private clouds (VPCs). Instead of deploying QuickSight on your own hosts, you access the QuickSight service through Regional public endpoints. QuickSight accesses data sources over a secured internet connection from Regional endpoints. To access data sources Resilience 1916 Amazon QuickSight User Guide that are located inside a corporate network, configure the network to allow access from one of the QuickSight public IP address blocks. We recommend that you consider using a VPC (a virtual network dedicated to your AWS account). For more information, see the following: • Global Infrastructure: The Most Extensive, Reliable, and Secure Global Cloud Infrastructure • AWS Regions, websites, IP address ranges, and endpoints • Connecting to a VPC with Amazon QuickSight As a managed service, Amazon QuickSight is protected by the AWS global network security procedures that are described in the Amazon Web Services: Overview of Security Processes paper. If you use AWS published API calls to access QuickSight through the network, clients must support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 or later. We recommend TLS 1.2 or later. Clients must also support cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes. Additionally, requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key that |

Or you can use the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests. You can call these API operations from any network location, but QuickSight does support resource-based access policies, which can include restrictions based on the source IP address. You can also use QuickSight policies to control access from specific Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoints or specific VPCs. Effectively, this isolates network access to a given QuickSight resource from only the specific VPC within the AWS network. For more information on using QuickSight in a VPC, see Connecting to a VPC with Amazon QuickSight. Topics • Network and database configuration requirements • Connecting to a VPC with Amazon QuickSight Network and database configuration requirements To serve as data sources, databases need to be configured so that Amazon QuickSight can access them. Use the following sections to make sure that your database is configured appropriately. Network and database configuration requirements 1917 Amazon QuickSight Important User Guide Because a database instance on Amazon EC2 is administered by you rather than AWS, it must meet both the Network configuration requirements as well as the Database configuration requirements for self-administered instances. Network configuration requirements Intended audience: System administrators For you to use your database server from QuickSight, your server must be accessible from the internet. It must also allow inbound traffic from QuickSight servers. If the database is on AWS and in the same AWS Region as your QuickSight account, you can auto-discover the instance to make connecting to it easier. To do this, you must grant QuickSight permissions to access it. For more information, see Accessing data sources. Network configuration for an AWS instance in a default VPC In some cases, your database might be on an AWS cluster or instance that you created in a default VPC. Thus, it's publicly accessible (that is, you didn't choose to make it private). In such cases, your database is already appropriately configured to be accessible from the internet. However, you still need to enable access from QuickSight servers to your AWS cluster or instance. For further details on how to do this, choose the appropriate topic following: • Authorizing connections from Amazon QuickSight to Amazon RDS DB instances • Authorizing connections from Amazon QuickSight to Amazon Redshift clusters • Authorizing connections from Amazon QuickSight to Amazon EC2 instances Network configuration for an AWS instance in a nondefault VPC If you are configuring an AWS instance in a nondefault VPC, make sure that the instance is publicly accessible and that the VPC has the following: • An internet gateway. Network and database configuration requirements 1918 Amazon QuickSight • A public subnet. User Guide • A route in the route table between the internet gateway and the AWS instance. • Network access control lists (ACLs) in your VPC that allow traffic between the cluster or instance and QuickSight servers. These ACLs must do the following: • Allow inbound traffic from the appropriate QuickSight IP address range and all ports to the IP address and port that the database is listening on. • Allow outbound traffic from the database’s IP address and port to the appropriate QuickSight IP address range and all ports. For more information about QuickSight IP address ranges, see IP address ranges for QuickSight following. For more information about configuring VPC ACLs, see Network ACLs. • Security group rules that allow traffic between the cluster or instance and QuickSight servers.

Database configuration requirements for self-administered instances Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators For a database to be accessible to QuickSight, it must meet the following criteria: • It must be accessible from the internet. To enable internet connectivity, see your database management system documentation. • It must be configured to accept connections and authenticate access using the user credentials that you provide as part of creating the data set. • If you are connecting to MySQL or PostgreSQL, the database engine must be accessible from your host or IP range. This optional security limitation is specified in MySQL or PostgreSQL connection settings. If this limitation is in place, any attempt to connect from a nonspecified host or IP address is rejected, even if you have the correct username and password. • In MySQL, the server accepts the connection only if the user and host are verified in the user table. For more information, see Access Control, Stage 1: Connection Verification in the MySQL documentation. • In PostgreSQL, you control client authentication by using the pg_hba.conf file in the database cluster's data directory. However, this file might be named and located differently on your system. For more information, see Client Authentication in the PostgreSQL documentation. Connecting to a VPC with Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: System administrators and Amazon QuickSight administrators Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1923 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition is fully integrated with the Amazon VPC service. A VPC based on this service closely resembles a traditional network that you operate in your own data center. It enables you to secure and isolate traffic between resources. You define and control the network elements to suit your requirements, while still getting the benefit of cloud networking and the scalable infrastructure of AWS. By creating a VPC connection in QuickSight, you're adding elastic network interfaces in your VPC. These network interfaces allow QuickSight to exchange network traffic with a network instance within your VPC. You can provide all of the standard security controls for this network traffic, as you do with other traffic in your VPC. Route tables, network access control lists (ACLs), subnets, and security groups settings all apply to network traffic to and from QuickSight in the same way that they apply to traffic between other instances in your VPC. When you register a VPC connection with QuickSight, you can securely connect to data that's available only in your VPC, for example: • Data you can reach by IP address • Data that isn't available on the public internet • Private databases • On-premises data This works if you set up connectivity between the VPC and your on-premises network. For example, you might set up connectivity with AWS Direct Connect, a virtual private network (VPN), or a proxy. After you connect to the data, you can use it to create data analyses and publish secure data dashboards. To further increase security, consider logging data access operations with AWS CloudTrail, as described in Logging QuickSight information with AWS CloudTrail. You can even create a dashboard to help you analyze your CloudTrail logs. By combining QuickSight logs with logs from your other AWS services, you can get a fuller view of how your data is being used. You don't need to be an networking expert to connect and use a VPC with QuickSight, because QuickSight provides a user interface for adding your network information. However, the person who gathers the information that you need for setup should have some understanding of networking concepts and using VPCs. This person also needs read-only access to the services. If Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1924 Amazon QuickSight User Guide network changes are required, we recommend that you don't make changes to your networking configuration without expert assistance. To use a command line interface to access your VPC, you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information on using the AWS CLI, see the AWS CLI User Guide.

Topics • VPC terminology • Supported VPC data sources • Setting up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight • Finding information to connect to a VPC • Configuring the VPC connection in Amazon QuickSight • Testing the connection to your VPC data source VPC terminology The following terminology can be useful when you work with a VPC and Amazon QuickSight. A VPC is a virtual private cloud, which works like a private network to isolate the resources within it. The solution described in these topics uses an AWS service called Amazon VPC. A route table contains a set of rules, called routes, that are used to determine where network traffic is directed. You can view the route table in the Amazon VPC console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/. The VPC details display the route table that the VPC is using. You can also see Route tables listed in the Amazon VPC console. A subnet is a defined set of network IP addresses that are used to increase the security and efficiency of network communications. You can think of them like postal codes, used for routing packages from one location to another. The Subnets list in the Amazon VPC console displays Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1925 Amazon QuickSight User Guide subnet IDs and also their associated VPC IDs, route tables, and network ACLs. You need to provide at least two subnets in different availability zones to create a VPC connection. A network interface represents a virtual network card. The network interface automatically created by QuickSight is called a QuickSight network interface. Each network interface in a VPC connection is configured based on the subnet it's attached to. You can view your QuickSight network interfaces in the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/. The network interface displays its network interface ID, subnet ID, VPC ID, security group, and the Availability Zone that it exists in. You can click on the security group name to see its group ID and its inbound and outbound rules. The term network interface in the following sections always means elastic network interface. A security group is a set of rules that controls the network access to the resources it is associated with. Access is permitted only to and from the components defined in the security group's inbound and outbound rules. If no rules are defined, the security group prevents all access. You can view security groups from several different consoles, depending on which resource that a particular security group applies to. You can see all the security groups and their settings in one place in the VPC console. For the QuickSight VPC connection, create a new security group. Inbound and outbound rules define the following: • The type of traffic to allow, for example "All TCP" or "RDS". • The protocol to allow (TCP, UDP, or ICMP). • The traffic source to allow for inbound rules, or the traffic destination to allow for outbound rules. When you work with a VPC and QuickSight, you specify the security group ID to use. • An optional description. We recommend that you add the word QuickSight to the description for QuickSight VPC rules. An internet gateway is a VPC component that allows communication between instances in your VPC and the internet. You don't need an internet gateway to use QuickSight VPC connections. A VPC endpoint enables you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services without using public IP addresses. You don't need to set up a VPC endpoint to use QuickSight VPC connections. Supported VPC data sources The following data sources can connect to QuickSight through a VPC connection: Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1926 Amazon QuickSight • Amazon OpenSearch Service • Amazon Redshift • Amazon Relational Database Service User Guide • Amazon Aurora • Databricks • Exasol • MariaDB • Microsoft SQL Server • MySQL • Oracle • PostgreSQL |

Databases hosted by Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, and Aurora automatically meet this requirement. 3. There is a clearly defined network path from the data source to QuickSight. 4. You registered the VPC with QuickSight by creating or using a VPC connection with the QuickSight console. Setting up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight Applies to: Enterprise Edition Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1927 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Intended audience: System administrators To set up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition, you need access to Amazon VPC and Amazon EC2. You also need access to each AWS database service that you plan to add to QuickSight. You can use the console, or you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). For more information about the CLI, see the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. To work with the CLI, go to https://aws.amazon.com/cli/. Before you begin to set up your VPC connection in QuickSight, make sure that you understand the components of a VPC deployment. As part of that, familiarize yourself with the VPC's subnets and security groups in relation to the destinations (databases) that you want to reach from QuickSight. To set up a successful VPC connection, make sure that the following components work together to allow network traffic to pass between QuickSight and your data source: • The Amazon VPC service • The subnets that your data source is using • The QuickSight elastic network interfaces and the subnets they use • The route table • Inbound and outbound rules for these security groups: • Security group for your VPC. We recommend you create a new security group to isolate the rules on the VPC security group from the rules on the QuickSight network interface's security group). • Security group attached to the QuickSight network interface. • Security group attached to the database server (for each database server that you want to use). • (Optional) Amazon Route 53 Resolver inbound endpoints for private DNS resolution. In the following topics, you can find the network components that are involved. You can also find descriptions of their roles in the network configuration of your VPC and your QuickSight VPC connection. The network interface for QuickSight that is automatically created during setup is called the QuickSight network interface (QNI).

The Amazon VPC service that provides it is a networking layer for your AWS resources. Using Amazon VPC, you can define a virtual network in your own logically isolated area within the AWS Cloud. A VPC closely resembles a traditional network that you might operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the AWS scalable infrastructure. Amazon VPC for Amazon EC2 virtual computing environments, known as instances, can be used for a variety of AWS resources. VPCs offer options that allow for flexibility in a secure environment, for example: • To configure your VPC, you can set its IP address range, create subnets, configure route tables, network gateways, network interfaces, and security settings. • To make the AWS Cloud an extension of your data center, you can connect your VPC to your own corporate data center. • You can connect your instances in the VPC to the internet, or keep your instances isolated on a private network. • To protect the resources in each subnet, you can use multiple layers of security, including security groups and network |

For more information, see the Amazon VPC User Guide. If you have a default VPC and don't specify a subnet when you launch an instance, the instance is launched into your default VPC. You can launch instances into your default VPC without needing to know anything about Amazon VPC. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1929 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If you don't already have a VPC or want to use a new one, you can create one by following the instructions in Getting started with Amazon VPC in the Amazon VPC User Guide. This section offers guidance on how to set up your VPC. The guidance includes options for public and private subnets and for AWS Site-to-Site VPN access for your corporate network (known as on-premises access). You can also use VPC peering or AWS Direct Connect to reach an on-premises database instance. Using the AWS CLI You can start to set up a VPC in Amazon EC2 by using the aws ec2 create-vpc command. To learn more about VPC settings for the AWS CLI, see Examples for VPC in the Amazon VPC User Guide. Using the Amazon EC2 console To view your VPC or create a new one in Amazon EC2, sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/. To create a new VPC, choose Launch VPC Wizard and follow the instructions. Note your new VPC ID for future reference. To view VPCs, choose Your VPCs on the left side. Amazon VPC resources in VPC guides and AWS Support articles For general information, see Working with VPCs and subnets. For step-by-step instructions for setting up a VPC, see the following topics (choose the ones that relate to your scenario): • Create an IPv4 VPC and subnets using the AWS CLI • Sharing public subnets and private subnets • Working with site-to-site VPN • AWS Site-to-Site VPN Network Administrator Guide (choose your network device for specific instructions) • Generic Customer Gateway Device Without Border Gateway Protocol (recommended for customer gateways) If you want to migrate data source instances into the same VPC, see the following AWS Support articles: • How do I change the VPC for an Amazon RDS DB instance? Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1930 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • How do I move my EC2 instance to another subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC? • How do I move my Amazon Redshift cluster from one VPC to another VPC? For troubleshooting information, see How do I troubleshoot issues with VPC route tables?, an article with video created by AWS Support. Subnets A subnet is a range of IP addresses in your VPC. You need to provide at least two subnets to create a VPC connection. Each subnet must belong a different availability zone. You can attach AWS resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon RDS DB instances, to subnets. You can create subnets to group instances together according to your security and operational needs. For Amazon QuickSight to connect to your database, the network needs to route traffic to the data sources that you want to reach from one of the subnets used by the QuickSight network interface. QuickSight determines which subnet to route traffic through on the backend. If the availability zone that the subnet is attached to experiences an outage, QuickSight reroutes the traffic to one of the other subnets that are configured in the VPC connection. If the data sources are on different subnets, make sure that there is a route from the QuickSight network interface to your database instance. By default, each subnet in a VPC is associated with one main route table and can reach the other subnets. For more information, see VPC and Subnets and Network ACLs in the Amazon VPC User Guide. If you use Amazon RDS, DB instances are associated with a subnet group that you can view either in the Amazon RDS console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/) or in the VPC console. For troubleshooting connectivity to Amazon RDS, see the AWS Support article How can I troubleshoot connectivity to an Amazon RDS instance that uses a public or private subnet of a VPC?

If you use Amazon RDS, DB instances are associated with a subnet group that you can view either in the Amazon RDS console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/) or in the VPC console. For troubleshooting connectivity to Amazon RDS, see the AWS Support article How can I troubleshoot connectivity to an Amazon RDS instance that uses a public or private subnet of a VPC? Security groups: inbound and outbound rules A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your instance to control inbound and outbound traffic. For each security group, you add rules that control the inbound traffic to instances, and a separate set of rules that control the outbound traffic. For your VPC connection, create a new security group with the description QuickSight-VPC. This security group must allow all inbound TCP traffic from the security groups of the data destinations that you want to reach. The following example creates a new security group in the VPC and returns the ID of the new security group. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1931 Amazon QuickSight User Guide aws ec2 create-security-group \ --name QuickSight-VPC \ --group-name quicksight-vpc \ --description "QuickSight-VPC" \ --vpc-id vpc-0daeb67adda59e0cd Important Network configuration is sufficiently complex that we strongly recommend that you create a new security group for use with QuickSight. It also makes it easier for AWS Support to help you if you need to contact them. Creating a new group isn't absolutely required. However, the following topics are based on the assumption that you follow this recommendation. To enable Amazon QuickSight to successfully connect to an instance in your VPC, configure your security group rules to allow traffic between the QuickSight network interface and the instance that contains your data. To do this, configure the security group attached to your database's instance inbound rules to allow the following traffic: • From the port that QuickSight is connecting to • From one of the following options: • The security group ID that's associated with QuickSight network interface (recommended) or • The private IP address of the QuickSight network interface For more information, see Security groups for your VPC and VPCs and subnets in the Amazon VPC User Guide. Use the topics listed below to learn more about inbound and outbound rules. Topics • Inbound rules • Outbound rules Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1932 Amazon QuickSight Inbound rules Important User Guide The following section applies to your VPC connection if the connection was created before April 27, 2023. When you create a security group, it has no inbound rules. No inbound traffic originating from another host to your instance is allowed until you add inbound rules to the security group. The security group attached to the QuickSight network interface behaves differently than most security groups, because it isn't stateful. Other security groups are usually stateful. This means that, after they establish an outbound connection to a resource's security group, they automatically allow return traffic. In contrast, the QuickSight network interface security group doesn't automatically allow return traffic. Because of this, adding an egress rule to the QuickSight network interface security group doesn't work. To make it work for the QuickSight network interface security group, make sure to add an inbound rule that explicitly authorizes the return traffic from the database host. The inbound rule in your security group must allow traffic on all ports. It needs to do this because the destination port number of any inbound return packets is set to a randomly allocated port number. To restrict QuickSight to connect only to certain instances, you can specify the security group ID (recommended) or private IP address of the instances that you want to allow. In either case, your security group inbound rule still needs to allow traffic on all ports (0–65535). To allow QuickSight to connect to any instance in the VPC, you can configure the QuickSight network interface security group. In this case, give it an inbound rule to allow traffic on 0.0.0.0/0 on all ports (0–65535). The security group used by the QuickSight network interface should be different than the security groups used for your databases. We recommend that you use separate security groups for VPC connection. Important If you are using a long-standing Amazon RDS DB instance, check your configuration to see if you're using a DB security group. DB security groups are used with DB instances that are not in a VPC and are on the EC2-Classic platform. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1933 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If this is your configuration, and you aren't moving your DB instance into the VPC for use with QuickSight, |

We recommend that you use separate security groups for VPC connection. Important If you are using a long-standing Amazon RDS DB instance, check your configuration to see if you're using a DB security group. DB security groups are used with DB instances that are not in a VPC and are on the EC2-Classic platform. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1933 Amazon QuickSight User Guide If this is your configuration, and you aren't moving your DB instance into the VPC for use with QuickSight, make sure to update your DB security group's inbound rules. Update them to allow inbound traffic from the VPC security group that you're using for QuickSight. For more information, see Controlling Access with Security Groups in the Amazon RDS User Guide. Outbound rules Important The following section applies to your VPC connection if the connection was created before April 27, 2023. By default, a security group includes an outbound rule that allows all outbound traffic. We recommend that you remove this default rule and add outbound rules that allow specific outbound traffic only. Warning Do not configure the security group on the QuickSight network interface with an outbound rule to allow traffic on all ports. For information on key considerations and recommendations for managing network egress traffic from VPCs, see Security best practices for your VPC in the Amazon VPC User Guide. The security group attached to QuickSight network interface should have outbound rules that allow traffic to each of the database instances in your VPC that you want QuickSight to connect to. To restrict QuickSight to connect only to certain instances, specify the security group ID (recommended) or the private IP address of the instances to allow. You set this up, along with the appropriate port numbers for your instances (the port that the instances are listening on), in the outbound rule. The VPC security group must also allow outbound traffic to the security groups of the data destinations, specifically on the port or ports that the database is listening on. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1934 Amazon QuickSight Sample rules User Guide Following, you can find some example configurations of inbound and outbound rules for Amazon RDS and Amazon Redshift.

For more information on route tables, see Route tables in the Amazon VPC User Guide. To learn more about VPC peering and view sample scenarios and configurations, see What is VPC peering? in the Amazon VPC Peering Guide. For an example configuration, see Example: Services using AWS PrivateLink and VPC peering in the Amazon VPC User Guide. Using the AWS CLI The following example creates a route table. aws ec2 create-route-table --vpc-id vpc-0daeb67adda59e0cd Then you can use the create-route command to create a route. For more information and examples, see create-route in the AWS CLI Command Reference. For the following examples to work, make sure that you have a subnet in the VPC associated with the route table. The first example describes the route table with the specified VPC ID. The second one describes the route table with the specified route table ID. aws ec2 describe-route-tables \ --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-0daeb67adda59e0cd" aws ec2 describe-route-tables \ --route-table-ids rtb-45ac473a Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1937 Amazon QuickSight User Guide The following example describes the specified associations between a specific VPC and your local gateway route tables. aws ec2 describe-local-gateway-route-table-vpc-associations --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-0daeb67adda59e0cd" QuickSight elastic network interface The QuickSight elastic network interface is a logical networking component in a VPC that |

QuickSight creates at least two of these network interfaces to use with a VPC connection based off of the subnets that are attached to it. Then you add the VPC connection to each QuickSight data source you create. The QuickSight network interface alone doesn't give QuickSight direct access to your databases. The VPC connection works only for the QuickSight data sources that are configured to use it. When you use the QuickSight data source to query a database or other instance within your VPC, all the network traffic from QuickSight originates from this QuickSight network interface. Because the QuickSight network interface exists inside your VPC, traffic originating from it can reach destinations within your VPC by using their private IP addresses. Each QuickSight network interface gets its own private IP address that comes from the subnet you configure. The private IP address is unique for each AWS account, unlike the public IP range. Inbound endpoints for Amazon Route 53 Resolver Amazon Route 53 Resolver provides DNS query capabilities to your VPC. Route 53 Resolver resolves all local DNS queries and recursively looks up any DNS queries that aren't local on public DNS servers. QuickSight can't directly use Route 53 Resolver to query private DNS servers. However, you can set up Route 53 Resolver inbound endpoints to make these queries indirectly. For more information about inbound endpoints, see Forwarding inbound DNS queries to your VPCs in the Route 53 Resolver Developer Guide. To use inbound endpoints in QuickSight, provide the IP addresses of the endpoints for DNS resolver endpoints when you create a VPC connection. Finding information to connect to a VPC Applies to: Enterprise Edition Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1938 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Intended audience: System administrators To gather the information to have ready when you create a VPC connection in Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition, take the steps listed following. Steps • Identify the data sources to use • Identify the AWS Region to use • Identify the VPC ID to use • Identify the subnet IDs to use • Identify the security group to use Identify the data sources to use Start by identifying all the data sources that you want to connect to using Amazon QuickSight. For each of these, note the database's private IP, security group, and subnets. QuickSight connects to your data using the private IP. However, you don't need to enter this or the security group or subnet information for the VPC connection. This information helps you identify the other components you need for the QuickSight VPC connection. Note For the connection to your data source to work, make sure that there's a traceable route from your data source to the VPC ID. For more details, see Setting up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight. Identify the AWS Region to use For the connection to work, the data, the subnets, and the security group must be in the same VPC. Make sure also that you use Amazon QuickSight in the same AWS Region with the VPC. You can't use QuickSight in one AWS Region and expect to connect to a VPC in a different AWS Region. If your team is already using QuickSight, you can see your current AWS Region displayed at the upper right of the QuickSight home screen. You can change the AWS Region you're using in Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1939 Amazon QuickSight User Guide QuickSight by changing the Region at the upper right of the QuickSight home screen. All the people who plan to use the data in the VPC must be using the same AWS Region in QuickSight. Note The AWS Region that displays in the QuickSight console doesn't have to match your AWS CLI configuration. Take care not to mistake your current QuickSight console settings with the settings that apply in any AWS CLI commands that you run or the settings in other consoles. Changing the current AWS Region in any console doesn't change the Region anywhere except for that page. For example, let's say you have three tabs open in one browser window. You can have the QuickSight console open in one AWS Region, the Amazon VPC |
amazon-quicksight-user-545 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 545 | must be using the same AWS Region in QuickSight. Note The AWS Region that displays in the QuickSight console doesn't have to match your AWS CLI configuration. Take care not to mistake your current QuickSight console settings with the settings that apply in any AWS CLI commands that you run or the settings in other consoles. Changing the current AWS Region in any console doesn't change the Region anywhere except for that page. For example, let's say you have three tabs open in one browser window. You can have the QuickSight console open in one AWS Region, the Amazon VPC console open in a second Region, the Amazon RDS console open in a third Region, and the AWS CLI running in a fourth Region. Identify the VPC ID to use The VPC ID is assigned when the VPC is created. Using the AWS CLI The following describe-vpcs example retrieves details for all of your VPCs. aws ec2 describe-vpcs The following describe-vpcs example retrieves details for the specified VPC. aws ec2 describe-vpcs \ --vpc-ids vpc-06e4ab6c6cEXAMPLE Using the Amazon VPC console In the VPC console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/), choose Your VPCs at left. Choose the VPC-ID that you want to use. The correct one has Availability Zones in your AWS Region and also meets the requirements described in Setting up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight. Also note the ID of Main Route Table, because you need this to identify related subnets. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1940 Amazon QuickSight Tip User Guide In the Amazon VPC console, you can filter by VPC. This option is located at the top left of the console. If you filter by your VPC ID, all the other menus display only the network elements that are in your selected VPC. Identify the subnet IDs to use To locate the subnet IDs for the subnets used by the VPC, open the VPC console. Locate the VPC you are using, and at least two subnets in different availibility zones. QuickSight creates its QuickSight elastic network interface (QuickSight network interface) for the subnets that you choose. The QuickSight network interfaces get created after you save your VPC connection settings, described in the following section. Your database instances can reside in different subnets. However, make sure you can trace the route from this subnet to any data destinations that you want to reach. Using the AWS CLI The following example describes all existing subnets. aws ec2 describe-subnets The following describe-subnets example uses a filter to retrieve details for the subnets of the specified VPC. aws ec2 describe-subnets \ --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-06e4ab6c6cEXAMPLE" Using the Amazon VPC console In the VPC console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/), choose Subnets at left, and find the correct Subnet ID. Any subnet is correct if your database subnet has a route to the subnet that you choose at this point. In most cases, if you haven't configured the VPC network yourself, all subnets are connected. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1941 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Identify the security group to use The security group contains rules that control the inbound and outbound network traffic on your data source instances. The security group you are using should have the description "QuickSight-VPC" to make it easier to identify. When you locate the correct security group, copy its Group ID value. Using the AWS CLI The following example displays the security groups in a specific AWS Region. It displays only the group ID, name, and description. It filters the result to display only groups for a specific VPC ID that also have a description of "QuickSight-VPC". aws ec2 describe-security-groups \ --region us-west-2 \ --query 'SecurityGroups[*].[GroupId, GroupName, Description]' \ --filters "Name=vpc-id,Values=vpc-06e4ab6c6cEXAMPLE" "Name=description,Values=QuickSight-VPC" The following example displays information about the security group with the ID sg-903004f8. Note that you can't reference a security group for EC2-VPC by name. aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids sg-903004f8 --region us-west-2 The following example queries the results to describe VPC the inbound and outbound rules of a security group with a specific ID (sg-903004f8), in a specific AWS Region (us-west-2). aws ec2 describe-security-groups \ --region us-west-2 \ --group-ids sg-903004f8 \ --query 'SecurityGroups[*].[GroupId, GroupName, Description, IpPermissions,IpPermissionsEgress]' The following example uses filters to describe VPC security groups that have a specific rule that allows SQL Server traffic (port 1433). The example also has a rule that allows traffic from all addresses (0.0.0.0/0). The output is filtered to display only the group IDs, names, and descriptions of the security groups. Security groups must match all filters to be returned in the results. However, a single rule doesn't have to match all filters.

You can also use the AWS CLI to generate a list of all VPC connections in your QuickSight account. aws quicksight list-vpc-connections \ --aws-account-id 123456789012 \ --region us-west-2 Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1954 Amazon QuickSight User Guide Testing the connection to your VPC data source Applies to: Enterprise Edition Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight administrators and authors To test whether you can connect to your data source through an existing Amazon QuickSight VPC connection, use the following procedure. Before you begin, collect the information you need to connect. If you plan to copy and paste settings from a file, make sure that it doesn't contain any of the following: formatting (list bullets or numbers), blank space (spaces, tabs), or invisible "gremlin" (non-ASCII, null (ASCII 0), or control) characters. 1. On the QuickSight start page, choose Manage data. 2. On the Datasets page, choose New data set. 3. In the FROM NEW DATA SOURCES section of the Create a data set page, choose a supported data source that you want to connect to. For a list of data sources that support VPC, see Identify the data sources to use. Your data source instance must use the same VPC that you used to create the VPC connection. Also, the associated security group must be properly configured. For more information, see Setting up a VPC to use with Amazon QuickSight. 4. Enter the connection information for the data source. The fields for the data source are sometimes displayed in different order depending on which data source you choose. For more information, see Creating a data source. • For Data source name, enter a descriptive name for the new data source. This name appears beside the data source logo on a tile on the Create a data set page. For testing purposes, name it "VPC test-" followed by the database name or location, whichever is unique. • For Connection Type, choose the name of the VPC connection that has a route to your data source. If the correct VPC is missing from the list, ask a QuickSight administrator to verify that the VPC connection is correct in QuickSight. If it looks correct, ask a system administrator to verify that the data source and VPC are set up for this purpose. Connecting to a VPC with QuickSight 1955 Amazon QuickSight User Guide • The name or other identifier for the server or instance to connect to. The descriptors vary depending on which one you're connecting to, but it's usually one or more of the following: hostname, IP address, cluster ID, instance ID, connector, or site based URL. • Database name shows the default database for the Instance ID cluster or instance. If you want to use a different database on that cluster or instance, enter its name. • The name of the collection of data that you want to use. The descriptor varies depending on the provider, but it's usually one of the following: database, warehouse, or catalog. In this topic, we use the word "database" as a generic term. • For Credentials, enter a username and password to use for everyone who connects from QuickSight using this data source. The username must have permissions to do the following: • Access the target database. • Read (perform a SELECT statement on) all of the tables that you want to use in that database. 5. Choose Validate connection to verify your connection information is correct. If your connection doesn't validate, correct the connection information and try again. If the information looks correct but doesn't validate, do one or all of the following: • Contact your data source administrator to verify your connection settings. • Contact your QuickSight administrator to verify the settings in the QuickSight VPC connection. • Contact your AWS administrator to verify that the VPC is correctly configured for use with QuickSight. 6. After the connection validates, choose Create data source to save the connection profile. Or, choose Cancel if you don't need to save it (recommended) after testing is complete. Best practices for security in Amazon QuickSight Amazon QuickSight provides a number of security features to consider as you develop and implement your own security policies. The following best practices are general guidelines and don’t represent a complete security solution. Because these best practices might not be appropriate or sufficient for your environment, treat them as helpful considerations rather than prescriptions. Firewall – To allow users to access Amazon QuickSight, allow access to HTTPS and WebSockets Secure (wss://) protocol. To allow Amazon QuickSight to reach a database that is on a non-AWS Best practices 1956 Amazon QuickSight User Guide server, change that server's firewall configuration to accept traffic from the applicable Amazon QuickSight IP address range. SSL – Use SSL to connect to your |
amazon-quicksight-user-550 | amazon-quicksight-user.pdf | 550 | security policies. The following best practices are general guidelines and don’t represent a complete security solution. Because these best practices might not be appropriate or sufficient for your environment, treat them as helpful considerations rather than prescriptions. Firewall – To allow users to access Amazon QuickSight, allow access to HTTPS and WebSockets Secure (wss://) protocol. To allow Amazon QuickSight to reach a database that is on a non-AWS Best practices 1956 Amazon QuickSight User Guide server, change that server's firewall configuration to accept traffic from the applicable Amazon QuickSight IP address range. SSL – Use SSL to connect to your databases, especially if you are using public networks. Using SSL with Amazon QuickSight requires the use of certificates signed by a publicly-recognized certificate authority (CA). Enhanced security – Use Amazon QuickSight Enterprise edition to make use of its enhanced security capabilities, including the following. • Store data in SPICE with encryption at rest. • Integrate Active Directory and IAM Identity Center authentication. • Securely access data in private VPCs and on-premises. • Limit access to data with row level security. VPC – (Enterprise Edition) Use a virtual private cloud (VPC) for data in AWS data sources and for data in on-premises servers without public connectivity. For AWS sources, VPC access for Amazon QuickSight uses an elastic network interface for secure, private communication with data sources in a VPC. For your local data, VPC allows you to use AWS Direct Connect to create a secure, private link with your on-premises resources. AWS managed policies for Amazon QuickSight To add permissions to users, groups, and roles, it is easier to use AWS managed policies than to write policies yourself. It takes time and expertise to create IAM customer managed policies that provide your team with only the permissions they need. To get started quickly, you can use our AWS managed policies. These policies cover common use cases and are available in your AWS account. For more information about AWS managed policies, see AWS managed policies in the IAM User Guide. AWS services maintain and update AWS managed policies. You can't change the permissions in AWS managed policies. Services occasionally add additional permissions to an AWS managed policy to support new features. This type of update affects all identities (users, groups, and roles) where the policy is attached. Services are most likely to update an AWS managed policy when AWS managed policies 1957 Amazon QuickSight User Guide a new feature is launched or when new operations become available. Services do not remove permissions from an AWS managed policy, so policy updates won't break your existing permissions. Additionally, AWS supports managed policies for job functions that span multiple services. For example, the ReadOnlyAccess AWS managed policy provides read-only access to all AWS services and resources. When a service launches a new feature, AWS adds read-only permissions for new operations and resources. For a list and descriptions of job function policies, see AWS managed policies for job functions in the IAM User Guide. AWS managed policy: AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy This information is provided for backward compatibility only. The AWSQuickSightOpenSearchPolicy AWS managed policy replaces the AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy AWS managed policy. Previously, you used the AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy AWS managed policy to provide access to Amazon Elasticsearch Service resources from Amazon QuickSight. Starting on or after September 7, 2021, Amazon Elasticsearch Service is renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. Wherever you are using AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy, you can update to the new AWS managed policy that's called AWSQuickSightOpenSearchPolicy. You can attach the policy to your IAM entities. Amazon QuickSight also attaches the policy to a service role that allows Amazon QuickSight to perform actions on your behalf. AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy is still available and as of August 31, 2021, had the same permissions as the new policy. However, AWSQuickSightElasticsearchPolicy is no longer kept up-to-date with latest changes. This policy grants read-only permissions that allow access to OpenSearch (previously known as Elasticsearch) resources from Amazon QuickSight. Permissions details This policy includes the following permissions: • es – Allows principals to use es:ESHttpGet to access your OpenSearch (previously known as Elasticsearch) domains, cluster settings, and indices.

CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE INFORMATION OR WORKS PROVIDED HEREUNDER. Statement of Purpose The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work"). Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and efforts of others. For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to 2061 Amazon QuickSight User Guide apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights. 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited to, the following: i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate, and translate a Work; ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s); iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness depicted in a Work; iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work, subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below; v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in a Work; vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof, including any amended or successor version of such directive); and vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof. 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 3.

Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent 2062 Amazon QuickSight User Guide permitted taking into account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. 4. Limitations and Disclaimers. a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document. b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law. c.

Note This documentation describes the Amazon S3 Encryption Client version 3.x, which is an independent library. For information about previous versions of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, see the AWS SDK Developer Guide for your programming language. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client is a client-side encryption library that enables you to encrypt an object locally to ensure its security before passing it to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Amazon S3 receives your object already encrypted; it does not play a role in encrypting or decrypting it. After you instantiate the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, your objects are automatically encrypted and decrypted as part of your Amazon S3 PutObject and GetObject requests. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client is provided free of charge under the Apache 2.0 license. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client is supported in the following programming languages and platforms. This guide focuses on version 3.x of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client for Java and Amazon S3 Encryption Client for Go. For more information on the remaining language implementations, see their respective AWS SDK Developer Guides. • C++ (AWS SDK for C++) • Go (amazon-s3-encryption-client-go repository) • Java (amazon-s3-encryption-client-java repository) • .NET (v2) (AWS SDK for .NET) • Ruby (v2) (AWS SDK for Ruby) • PHP (v3) (AWS SDK for PHP) The Amazon S3 Encryption Client provides: A default implementation that adheres to cryptography best practices By default, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client generates a unique data key for each object that it encrypts. This follows the cryptography best practice of using unique data keys for each encryption operation. 1 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide The Amazon S3 Encryption Client encrypts your objects using a secure, authenticated, symmetric key algorithm. A framework for protecting data keys with wrapping keys The Amazon S3 Encryption Client protects the data keys that encrypt your objects by encrypting them under a wrapping key. With the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, you define a wrapping key by passing the key to the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, which it uses to optimize its settings. Amazon S3 Encryption Client concepts Note This documentation describes the Amazon S3 Encryption Client version 3.x, which is an independent library. For information about previous versions of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, see the AWS SDK Developer Guide for your programming language. This topic introduces the concepts and terminology used in the Amazon S3 Encryption Client. It's designed to help you understand how the Amazon S3 Encryption Client works and the terms we use to describe it.

To do this, you need Terms and concepts 2 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide another encryption key, known as a key-encryption key or wrapping key. The practice of using a wrapping key to encrypt data keys is known as envelope encryption. Protecting data keys The Amazon S3 Encryption Client encrypts each object with a unique data key. Then it encrypts the data key under the wrapping key you specify. It stores the encrypted data key with the encrypted object that the PutObject request uploads to Amazon S3. Combining the strengths of multiple algorithms To encrypt your object, by default, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses a sophisticated algorithm suite with AES-GCM symmetric encryption. To encrypt the data key, you can specify a symmetric or asymmetric encryption algorithm appropriate to your wrapping key. In general, symmetric key encryption algorithms are faster and produce smaller ciphertexts than asymmetric or public key encryption. But public key algorithms provide inherent separation of roles and easier key management. To combine the strengths of each, you can encrypt your object with symmetric key encryption, and then encrypt the data key with public key encryption. Data key A data key is an encryption key that the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses to encrypt your object. Each data key is a byte array that conforms to the requirements for cryptographic keys. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses a unique data key to encrypt each object. Data key 3 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide You don't need to specify, generate, implement, extend, protect or use data keys. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client does that work for you. To protect your data keys, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client encrypts them under a key-encryption key known as a wrapping key. When you call PutObject, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses your plaintext data key to encrypt your object, then removes it from memory as soon as possible. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client encrypts the data key with the wrapping key you provide. Then the Amazon S3 Encryption Client stores the encrypted data key with the encrypted object that the PutObject request uploads to Amazon S3. For more information, see How the Amazon S3 Encryption Client works. Wrapping key A wrapping key is a key-encryption key that the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses to encrypt the data key that encrypts your object. You specify the wrapping key that is used to protect your data keys when you instantiate your Amazon S3 Encryption Client. Version 3.x of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses the wrapping key you specify and one of the fully supported wrapping algorithms to encrypt and decrypt data keys. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client supports several commonly used wrapping keys, such as symmetric AWS KMS keys, Raw AES-GCM (Advanced Encryption Standard/Galois Counter Mode) keys, and Raw RSA keys. Note Version 3.x of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client for Go does not support Raw AES-GCM or Raw RSA wrapping keys. When you use envelope encryption, you need to protect your wrapping keys from unauthorized access. You can do this in any of the following ways: • Use a web service designed for this purpose, such as AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). Wrapping key 4 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide • Use a hardware security module (HSM) such as those offered by AWS CloudHSM. • Use other key management tools and services. If you don't have a key management system, we recommend AWS KMS. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client integrates with AWS KMS to help you protect and use your wrapping keys. Keyrings To specify the wrapping keys you use for encryption and decryption, you use a keyring You can use the keyrings that the Amazon S3 Encryption Client provides or design your own implementations. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client provides keyrings that are compatible with each other subject to language constraints. A keyring generates, encrypts, and decrypts data keys. When you define a keyring, you can specify the wrapping keys that encrypt your data keys. Most keyrings specify at least one wrapping key or a service that provides and protects wrapping keys. You can also define a keyring with no wrapping keys or a more complex keyring with additional configuration options. For details about specifying wrapping keys, see the examples topic of your programming language. Supported encryption algorithms An algorithm suite is a collection of cryptographic algorithms and related values. Cryptographic systems use the algorithm implementation to generate the ciphertext message. To encrypt each Amazon S3 object, |

Most keyrings specify at least one wrapping key or a service that provides and protects wrapping keys. You can also define a keyring with no wrapping keys or a more complex keyring with additional configuration options. For details about specifying wrapping keys, see the examples topic of your programming language. Supported encryption algorithms An algorithm suite is a collection of cryptographic algorithms and related values. Cryptographic systems use the algorithm implementation to generate the ciphertext message. To encrypt each Amazon S3 object, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses a unique 256-bit symmetric data encryption key and an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) algorithm suite. This algorithm suite uses AES-GCM for authenticated encryption with a 12-byte initialization vector, and a 16-byte AES-GCM authentication tag. It does not support a key derivation function. For information on legacy encryption algorithms, see Supported encryption algorithms. Cryptographic materials manager The cryptographic materials manager (CMM) assembles the cryptographic materials that are used to encrypt and decrypt data. The cryptographic materials include plaintext and encrypted data keys, and an optional message signing key. You never interact with the CMM directly. The encryption and decryption methods handle it for you. Keyrings 5 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide You can use the default CMM that the Amazon S3 Encryption Client provides or write a custom CMM. You can specify a CMM, but it's not required. When you specify a keyring, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client creates a default CMM for you. The default CMM gets the encryption or decryption materials from the keyring that you specify. This might involve a call to a cryptographic service, such as AWS Key Management Service(AWS KMS). Because the CMM acts as a liaison between the Amazon S3 Encryption Client and a keyring, it is an ideal point for customization and extension, such as support for policy enforcement and caching. Encryption context If you use a symmetric AWS KMS key as your wrapping key, you can include an encryption context in all requests to encrypt data. Using an encryption context is optional, but it is a cryptographic best practice that we recommend. An encryption context is a set of name-value pairs that contain arbitrary, non-secret additional authenticated data. The encryption context can contain any data you choose, but it typically consists of data that is useful in logging and tracking, such as data about the file type, purpose, or ownership. When you encrypt data, the encryption context is cryptographically bound to the encrypted data so that the same encryption context is required to decrypt the data. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client stores the encryption context in plaintext in the metadata of the encrypted object that it uploads to Amazon S3. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client also uses the encryption context to provide additional authenticated data (AAD) in your AWS KMS calls. Note We strongly recommend using only US-ASCII characters in your encryption contexts. Including non-US-ASCII characters can result in availability and compatibility errors. The following example demonstrates how to specify an encryption context in your cryptographic operations. 1. Specify a KMS key as your wrapping key by instantiating your client with the kmsKeyId builder parameter. // v3 class v3KMSKeyExample { Encryption context 6 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide public static void main(String[] args) { S3Client v3Client = S3EncryptionClient.builder() .kmsKeyId(kmsKeyId) .build(); } } 2. Use the overrideConfiguration builder parameter to specify the encryption context within your PutObject request. // v3 class v3EncryptExample { public static void main(String[] args) { s3Client.putObject(PutObjectRequest.builder() .bucket(bucket) .key(objectKey) .overrideConfiguration(withAdditionalConfiguration(encryptionContext)), .build(), RequestBody.fromString(objectContent)); } } 3. Include the same encryption context in your GetObject request. // v3 class v3DecryptExample { public static void main(String[] args) { ResponseBytes<GetObjectResponse> objectResponse = s3Client.getObjectAsBytes(builder -> builder .bucket(bucket) .key(objectKey)); .overrideConfiguration(withAdditionalConfiguration(encryptionContext))); String output = objectResponse.asUtf8String(); } } Encryption context 7 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide How the Amazon S3 Encryption Client works Note This documentation describes the Amazon S3 Encryption Client version 3.x, which is an independent library.

Encrypt and decrypt with the Amazon S3 Encryption Client The Amazon S3 Encryption Client works as an intermediary between you and Amazon S3 by encrypting your object as you upload it, and decrypting your object as you download it. The following walkthrough specifies an RSA key pair as the wrapping key. For detailed code examples, see the Examples topic of your preferred programming language. 1. 2. Specify your wrapping key and create a keyring when you instantiate your client. Encrypt your plaintext object by calling PutObject. a. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client provides the encryption materials: one plaintext data key and one copy of that data key encrypted by your wrapping key. b. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses the plaintext data key to encrypt your object, and then discards the plaintext data key. c. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client uploads the encrypted data key and the encrypted object to Amazon S3 as part of the PutObject call. 3. Decrypt your encrypted object by calling GetObject. How it works 8 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide a. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses your wrapping key to decrypt the encrypted data key. b. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client uses the plaintext data key to decrypt the object, discards the plaintext data key, and returns the plaintext object as part of the GetObject call. Client-side and server-side encryption Note This documentation describes the Amazon S3 Encryption Client version 3.x, which is an independent library. For information about previous versions of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, see the AWS SDK Developer Guide for your programming language. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client supports client-side encryption, where you encrypt your objects before you send them to Amazon S3. Amazon S3 provides server-side encryption options that encrypt your objects at their destination before they are saved in Amazon S3. The tools that you choose depend on your security requirements and the sensitivity of your data. You can use both the Amazon S3 Encryption Client and Amazon S3 server-side encryption. When you send encrypted objects to Amazon S3, Amazon S3 doesn't recognize the objects as being encrypted, it just detects typical objects. Server-side encryption Amazon S3 supports encryption at rest with three mutually exclusive server-side encryption options. Amazon S3 encrypts your data at the object level as it writes it to disks in its data centers and decrypts it for you when you access it. Amazon S3 Encryption Client Client-side encryption provides end-to-end protection for your object, in transit and at rest, from its source to storage in Amazon S3. • Your data is protected in transit and at rest. It is never exposed to any third party, including AWS. • You choose how your cryptographic keys are protected. You specify the wrapping key used to protect the data keys that encrypt your objects. Client-side and server-side encryption 9 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide • Your objects are all encrypted with a unique data key. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client does not use or interact with bucket keys, even if you specify a KMS key as your wrapping key. Client-side and server-side encryption 10 Amazon S3 Encryption Client Developer Guide Amazon S3 Encryption Client programming languages The Amazon S3 Encryption Client is supported in the following programming languages and platforms.

If you have encrypted objects under a previous version of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client, you may need to enable legacy decryption modes when you instantiate the updated client. For more information, see Migrating to version 3.x of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client for Java. With version 3.x of the Amazon S3 Encryption Client for Java, you can instantiate your client specifying the builder parameter that identifies your wrapping key. The Amazon S3 Encryption Client supports the following wrapping keys: symmetric AWS KMS keys, Raw AES-GCM keys, and Raw RSA keys. Then, the Amazon S3 Encryption Client automatically configures a keyring based on the wrapping key type with default settings and a default cryptographic materials manager (CMM). If you want to customize your client, you can also manually configure your keyring. Note If you use Raw RSA or Raw AES-GCM wrapping keys, you are responsible for generating, storing, and protecting the key material, preferably in a hardware security module (HSM) or key management system. The following examples instantiate the Amazon S3 Encryption Client with the default decryption mode. This means that all objects will be decrypted using the fully supported buffered decryption mode. |
