AWS Analytics & Quicksight Solutions | West Loop Strategy
Optimize your cloud journey with advanced AWS analytics solutions. Learn how West Loop Strategy can transform your business with data.
Hello, I'm Dylan, a cloud developer at West Loop Strategy, an AWS partner. As part of our AWS Analytics Expert series, we're going to discuss how to manage access to your QuickSight resources.
Throughout my time working with QuickSight, I have learned that making sure authors and admins have proper permissions to resources is super important and can save a lot of time if we are onboarding a new employee or you are working with a new company. You want to ensure that all necessary DataSources, Datasets, Analyses, and Dashboards are permission to that user correctly.
The easiest way to manage this is to properly document the resources you are working with. It doesn't take long before you start building up a large list of datasets and analyses that you are using for test cases or didn't end up becoming fully fleshed out dashboards. Make sure you have a list of your resources that you are using for production and know exactly what they are linked to. Once you are done with that, click on the manage assets tab within the manage QuickSight section of your application. This resource will be your best friend when trying to ensure that all users have appropriate access to any and all necessary resources. If you have an author who needs to be able to update the queries of your custom SQL datasets, here is the place to do it. If you want to ensure that someone in the marketing department has access to the necessary analysis to customize any copy, font styles or colors that can also be done here or if you need to make sure dashboards are permissioned to the appropriate reader groups. This is a good place for that as well. This view gives an administrator a very simple way to manage these resources and ensure they are permission according to the company standards.

West Loop Strategy’s mission is to combine AWS technology with deep expertise to deliver best-in-class solutions to business problems, not technology for its own sake. That means efficient, cost-effective solutions that add value to your business.
Cloud migration is the process of moving your organization's data, applications, and infrastructure from on-premises servers to the cloud. If that sounds complicated or like a lot of work, consider the benefits. Moving to the cloud allows businesses to shift from large upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) on hardware and infrastructure to operational expenses (OpEx) that can be deducted from taxable income. This pay-as-you-go model improves cash flow, reduces financial risk, and provides greater flexibility to scale IT resources as needed. If you set it up right - you can stop running inflexible workloads that are "always on" and instead take advantage of native solutions that scale up and down based on your actual usage.
Our team of AWS certified Solutions Architects at West Loop Strategy is here to guide you through this transition, ensuring it's tailored to your business and its unique requirements. From initial assessment to seamless execution, we'll help you navigate the complexities of cloud migration with confidence.
AWS is the clear leader among the public cloud providers. They have the most advanced features & products, the highest uptime, the lowest prices, and the best customer support. Whether you are moving a solution from on-prem to the cloud, modernizing an old stack of legacy products, changing business intelligence platforms, or leaving Azure/GCP, AWS has a solution for you.
