AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . quicksight ]

create-account-subscription

Description

Creates an Amazon QuickSight account, or subscribes to Amazon QuickSight Q.

The Amazon Web Services Region for the account is derived from what is configured in the CLI or SDK. This operation isn’t supported in the US East (Ohio) Region, South America (Sao Paulo) Region, or Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region.

Before you use this operation, make sure that you can connect to an existing Amazon Web Services account. If you don’t have an Amazon Web Services account, see Sign up for Amazon Web Services in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide . The person who signs up for Amazon QuickSight needs to have the correct Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. For more information, see IAM Policy Examples for Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

If your IAM policy includes both the Subscribe and CreateAccountSubscription actions, make sure that both actions are set to Allow . If either action is set to Deny , the Deny action prevails and your API call fails.

You can’t pass an existing IAM role to access other Amazon Web Services services using this API operation. To pass your existing IAM role to Amazon QuickSight, see Passing IAM roles to Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

You can’t set default resource access on the new account from the Amazon QuickSight API. Instead, add default resource access from the Amazon QuickSight console. For more information about setting default resource access to Amazon Web Services services, see Setting default resource access to Amazon Web Services services in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
