Error message from embedded QuickSight dashboard - what is the meaining of DatasetRulesUserDenied?

Question

I'm embedding a QuickSight dashboard on a web page and when it loads, I get a message saying:

There is an issue with your data set rules. Contact your data set owner for asssistance. Error code: DatasetRulesUserDenied

I can't find any information about this message. Has anyone run into this problem?

Answer 1

I've seen this happen when the underlying data is being secured by row-level-security but the row-level-security table does not contain an entry for the current user's UserName.

If this sounds like your case, ensure your RLS is properly hooked up and ensure that your username is correct. When you're embedding, it's important to note that the user-name can be prefixed with the embedding role (e.g. my_embedding_role/some_user rather than just some_user).
