How to get/generate aws quicksight secure dashboar

I want to embed Quicksight dashboard to an application. I have gone through the AWS quicksight documents, I did not get where I will find secure signed dashboard url.

In order to generate Quicksight secure dashboard url, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Create a new Identity Pool. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/home?region=us-east-1 , click ‘Create new Identity Pool’

Give an appropriate name. Go to the Authentication Providers section, select Cognito. Give the User Pool ID(your User pool ID) and App Client ID (go to App Clients in userpool and copy id). Click ‘Create Pool’. Then click ‘Allow’ to create roles of the identity pool in IAM.

Step 2: Assign Custom policy to the Identity Pool Role

Create a custom policy with the below JSON.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": "quicksight:RegisterUser",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Action": "quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        },
        {
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        }
    ]
}

Note: if you want to restrict the user to only one dashboard, replace the * with the dashboard ARN name in quicksight:GetDashboardEmbedUrl,

then goto the roles in IAM. select the IAM role of the Identity pool and assign custom policy to the role.

Step 3: Configuration for generating the temporary IAM(STS) user

Login to your application with the user credentials. For creating temporary IAM user, we use Cognito credentials. When user logs in, Cognito generates 3 token IDs - IDToken, AccessToken, RefreshToken. These tokens will be sent to your application server.

For creating a temporary IAM user, we use Cognito Access Token and credentials will look like below.

 AWS.config.region = 'us-east-1';
       AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
           IdentityPoolId:"Identity pool ID",
           Logins: {
               'cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/UserPoolID': AccessToken
           }
       });

For generating temporary IAM credentials, we call sts.assume role method with the below parameters.

var params = {
           RoleArn: "Cognito Identity role arn",
           RoleSessionName: "Session name"
       };
sts.assumeRole(params, function (err, data) {
           if (err) console.log( err, err.stack); // an error occurred
           else {
               console.log(data);
})

You can add additional parameters like duration (in seconds) for the user. Now, we will get the AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey and Session Token of the temporary user.

Step 4: Register the User in Quicksight

With the help of same Cognito credentials used in the Step 3, we will register the user in quicksight by using the quicksight.registerUser method with the below parameters

var params = {
                   AwsAccountId: “account id”,
                   Email: 'email',
                   IdentityType: 'IAM' ,
                   Namespace: 'default',
                   UserRole: ADMIN | AUTHOR | READER | RESTRICTED_AUTHOR | RESTRICTED_READER,
                   IamArn: 'Cognito Identity role arn',
                   SessionName: 'session name given in the assume role creation',
               };

quicksight.registerUser(params, function (err, data1) {
                   if (err) console.log("err register user”); // an error occurred
                   else {
                       // console.log("Register User1”);
                   }
               })

Now the user will be registered in quicksight.

Step5: Update AWS configuration with New credentials.

Below code shows how to configure the AWS.config() with new credentials generated Step 3.

AWS.config.update({

                   accessKeyId: AccessToken,
                   secretAccessKey: SecretAccessKey ,
                   sessionToken: SessionToken, 
                   "region": Region
                 });

Step6: Generate the EmbedURL for Dashboards:

By using the credentials generated in Step 3, we will call the quicksight.getDashboardEmbedUrl with the below parameters

var params = {
  AwsAccountId: "account ID",
  DashboardId: "dashboard Id",
  IdentityType: "IAM",
  ResetDisabled: true,
  SessionLifetimeInMinutes: between 15 to 600 minutes,
  UndoRedoDisabled: True | False
}

quicksight.getDashboardEmbedUrl(params,
  function (err, data) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log(data);
    } else {
      console.log(err);
    }
  });

Now, we will get the embed url for the dashboard.

Call the QuickSightEmbedding.embedDashboard from front end with the help of the above generated url. The result will be the dashboard embedded in your application with filter controls.

this link will give you what you need from aws cli https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/embed-interactive-dashboards-in-your-application-with-amazon-quicksight/

this is the step 3 aws cli cmd to give you embeded URL ( i was able to excecute)

aws quicksight get-dashboard-embed-url --aws-account-id (your account ID) --dashboard-id (your dashgboard ID) --identity-type IAM

there are many other dependence to enable the embeded dashboard per aws dcouments. i have not able to successfully doen that. GL and let me know if you make it happen!
