generate-embed-url-for-registered-user

Description

Generates an embed URL that you can use to embed an Amazon QuickSight experience in your website. This action can be used for any type of user registered in an Amazon QuickSight account. Before you use this action, make sure that you have configured the relevant Amazon QuickSight resource and permissions.

The following rules apply to the generated URL:

  • It contains a temporary bearer token. It is valid for 5 minutes after it is generated. Once redeemed within this period, it cannot be re-used again.

  • The URL validity period should not be confused with the actual session lifetime that can be customized using the `` SessionLifetimeInMinutes `` parameter. The resulting user session is valid for 15 minutes (minimum) to 10 hours (maximum). The default session duration is 10 hours.

  • You are charged only when the URL is used or there is interaction with Amazon QuickSight.

For more information, see Embedded Analytics in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

Options

--aws-account-id (string)

The ID for the Amazon Web Services account that contains the dashboard that you’re embedding.

--session-lifetime-in-minutes (long)

How many minutes the session is valid. The session lifetime must be in [15-600] minutes range.

--user-arn (string)

--experience-configuration (structure)

The experience you are embedding. For registered users, you can embed Amazon QuickSight dashboards or the entire Amazon QuickSight console.

Dashboard -> (structure)

The configuration details for providing a dashboard embedding experience.

InitialDashboardId -> (string)

The dashboard ID for the dashboard that you want the user to see first. This ID is included in the output URL. When the URL in response is accessed, Amazon QuickSight renders this dashboard if the user has permissions to view it.

If the user does not have permission to view this dashboard, they see a permissions error message.

QuickSightConsole -> (structure)

The configuration details for providing each Amazon QuickSight console embedding experience. This can be used along with custom permissions to restrict access to certain features. For more information, see Customizing Access to the Amazon QuickSight Console in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

Use `` GenerateEmbedUrlForRegisteredUser `` where you want to provide an authoring portal that allows users to create data sources, datasets, analyses, and dashboards. The users who accesses an embedded Amazon QuickSight console needs to belong to the author or admin security cohort. If you want to restrict permissions to some of these features, add a custom permissions profile to the user with the `` UpdateUser `` API operation. Use the `` RegisterUser `` API operation to add a new user with a custom permission profile attached. For more information, see the following sections in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide :

InitialPath -> (string)

The initial URL path for the Amazon QuickSight console. InitialPath is required.

The entry point URL is constrained to the following paths:

  • /start

  • /start/analyses

  • /start/dashboards

  • /start/favorites

  • /dashboards/DashboardId . DashboardId is the actual ID key from the Amazon QuickSight console URL of the dashboard.

  • /analyses/AnalysisId . AnalysisId is the actual ID key from the Amazon QuickSight console URL of the analysis.

QSearchBar -> (structure)

The configuration details for embedding the Q search bar.

For more information about embedding the Q search bar, see Embedding Overview in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide .

InitialTopicId -> (string)

The ID of the Q topic that you want to make the starting topic in the Q search bar. You can find a topic ID by navigating to the Topics pane in the Amazon QuickSight application and opening a topic. The ID is in the URL for the topic that you open.

If you don’t specify an initial topic, a list of all shared topics is shown in the Q bar for your readers. When you select an initial topic, you can specify whether or not readers are allowed to select other topics from the available ones in the list.

Shorthand Syntax:

Dashboard={InitialDashboardId=string},QuickSightConsole={InitialPath=string},QSearchBar={InitialTopicId=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Dashboard": {
    "InitialDashboardId": "string"
  },
  "QuickSightConsole": {
    "InitialPath": "string"
  },
  "QSearchBar": {
    "InitialTopicId": "string"
  }
}

--allowed-domains (list)

The domains that you want to add to the allow list for access to the generated URL that is then embedded. This optional parameter overrides the static domains that are configured in the Manage QuickSight menu in the Amazon QuickSight console. Instead, it allows only the domains that you include in this parameter. You can list up to three domains or subdomains in each API call.

To include all subdomains under a specific domain to the allow list, use * . For example, https://*.sapp.amazon.com includes all subdomains under https://sapp.amazon.com .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. 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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

EmbedUrl -> (string)
