How does QuickSight support embedding dashboards into external applications for customers or partners?

Advanced

Answer

QuickSight supports embedded analytics, which lets you integrate fully interactive dashboards directly into your own web application using a secure embed URL, meaning your customers can view and interact with rich visualizations without ever needing their own separate QuickSight account or login, and you can combine this with row level security to ensure each embedded viewer only sees their own specific data.
aws quicksight generate-embed-url-for-registered-user --aws-account-id 123456789012 --user-arn arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:123456789012:user/default/embedUser --experience-configuration Dashboard={DashboardId=abc123}
Real-world example A software as a service company embeds a QuickSight dashboard directly inside its own customer facing product, letting each customer see their own account analytics without ever leaving the vendor's application or needing separate QuickSight credentials.
