Amazon QuickSight launches the new capability for Row Level Security (RLS) on Dataset-as-a-Source. This is a follow-up feature to enhance the security level for the current QuickSight Dataset-as-a-Source feature. Previously, if any of the QuickSight parent datasets is RLS-enabled, the creation of a child dataset from that parent dataset was blocked. Now with the new capability, customers can create child datasets with the RLS rules inherated from the parent dataset. When querying the child dataset, QuickSight applies the parent RLS filter on top of the parent data at runtime. For further details, visit here.

The new RLS on Dataset-as-a-source capability is now available in Amazon QuickSight Enterprise Editions in all QuickSight regions - US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada, Sau Paulo, Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland and London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
