Exporting result sets is disabled for this account Error when trying to export to csv using Query Editor v2 Redshift

Question

Hi,
I created a redshift database and ran some queries in the query editor v2. I can see the option to Export to csv or json, but when I click on it, I get the error "*Exporting result sets is disabled for this account."*.

Searching google for this specific error message doesn't return much. I have tried adding the policy **AmazonRedshiftQueryEditorV2FullAccess** to both my own user and the IAM used for the created redshift database, but the error still persists. (taken from article https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/query-editor-v2-getting-started.html)

1. Which account specifically is it talking about?
2. What do I need to do in order to be able to export theses query results to csv from the query editor v2 directly?

Thanks,
Becky

Answer

I just got stuck on this as well.

Assuming you have the `sqlworkbench:UpdateAcountExportSettings` permission, you can enable exporting result sets:
1. Click `Account settings` in the gear menu in the bottom-left corner of the Query Editor v2 interface.
2. Check the `Allow export result set` checkbox in the `Export settings` section, and click `Save`.
