Quicksight - Can't create a copy of Analysis due to read permission from Dataset

Question

In Quicksight I'm trying to create a copy of an analysis but I get a message that I need reading permission to two additional datasets, but I don't know who owns the dataset. Is there a way to find out who owns a dataset when it's not visible under your own account? Can the account admin see all datasets even though they have not created them and give permission?

Accepted Answer

Hi,
From the QuickSight UI this is not possible. What you can do is ask the ask account ADMIN to make API calls to retrieve this data . 
To find out who has permissions on a dataset  : https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/quicksight/describe-data-set-permissions.html .

Example below : 
```
88665a256657:~ xxxx$ aws quicksight describe-data-set-permissions --aws-account-id 123456789012 --data-set-id cdb151b3-14eb-4f98-a4c5-f1af2024213e
{
    "Status": 200,
    "DataSetArn": "arn:aws:quicksight:eu-central-1:123456789012:dataset/cdb151b3-14eb-4f98-a4c5-f1af2024213e",
    "DataSetId": "cdb151b3-14eb-4f98-a4c5-f1af2024213e",
    "Permissions": [
        {
            "Principal": "arn:aws:quicksight:eu-central-1:123456789012:user/default/Default-Author1",
            "Actions": [
                "quicksight:PassDataSet",
                "quicksight:DescribeIngestion",
                "quicksight:CreateIngestion",
                "quicksight:UpdateDataSet",
                "quicksight:DeleteDataSet",
                "quicksight:DescribeDataSet",
                "quicksight:CancelIngestion",
                "quicksight:DescribeDataSetPermissions",
                "quicksight:ListIngestions",
                "quicksight:UpdateDataSetPermissions"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "RequestId": "85f704e6-f8fd-461c-a8d2-9fca16aeb97a"
}
```

Implementing an administrative dashboard is also going to be very helpful (the link provides details on implementation ) : https://d172fagwhsdxeg.cloudfront.net/index.html?dashboardid=1cc671e3-40e5-4eea-a58e-3ed9d41de6f1&dashboardregion=us-east-1
