Hi @Utshab_Saha

Welcome to the community!

You cannot downgrade users from Admin to Reader. If the users have not created any assets in Quick Sight, you can delete them and then recreate them as Readers.

Please refer the below Quick Sight documentation and community post this might be helpful for you.

> Hello, I have a Quicksight account in a multi account structure and I’m using IAM user management from the beginning. Every user who is allowed to use Quicksight can simply login with his console account and can use it. Most of the users (25 from 30+) are using Quicksight only to view dashboards/reports, but AWS bills als the users as “AUTHOR”, the moment they login. Is there a way for IAM users to only view reports? I don’t see paying for users a full price that only need to have read access. …
