Hello,

I’m trying to use the new manage assets functionality in Quick Sight. I am an admin within Quick Sight but not within our AWS account as a whole.

When I try to search for a user or group to share resources with I get kicked the following error:  
 ![image](https://d1wl4jav5dp96l.cloudfront.net/optimized/2X/e/eb260fec6fb436925bab0edda710498a598b328b_2_690x46.png)

I had this error for permissions quicksight:SearchUsers and quicksight:SearchGroups

My AWS admin was able to add the SearchGroups permissions but did not see the SearchUsers permission listed. I also confirmed this on a personal account.

Here is the search results in IAM when trying to assign a policy:

I then tried to manually edit the permission incase it just wasn’t listed through the self-help tool but that did not work either:

Is this permission by chance under some other name?

@divey, please work with your account admin to create a policy such as below and let me know if that helped to address your issue.

Hi Deepak,

If you search for the quicksight:SearchUsers permission, it doesn’t come up. The policy editor also throws a red X when manually adding it to the policy but if you ignore the error and push it through, it does seem to have worked.

As a side note, I also needed to add, quicksight:SearchDataSets and quicksight:SearchDataSources to the policy for managing assets.

Thanks again Deepak
