The region you choose while creating/subscribing Quick Sight is where your spice capacity will be deployed and is the default sign in region for users.

> Identity region - Quick Sight manages users and groups in special regions designated as Identity regions. Based on your region selection, Quick Sight will pick appropriate identity region for your account. This has no direct impact on your setup. Just keep in mind that when doing user/group management or editing security & permission settings, you will need to switch over to the identity region. (You will be prompted to do so in the UI and API responses)
