Sharing & administration — quiz
6 questions covering this module. Publishing, permissions, row-level security and embedding.
In an RLS rules dataset, a blank value in a restriction column means:
- No access
- Access to all values of that field
- The row is ignored
- An error
Answer: Access to all values of that field — Blank grants universal access for that field — useful for admins, dangerous by accident.
A user not present in the rules dataset sees:
- All rows
- No data
- Only aggregates
- An error message
Answer: No data — Default-deny is the safe behaviour; every entitled user must be listed explicitly.
In a multi-tenant embed, what actually prevents tenant A seeing tenant B data?
- A URL parameter
- Row-level security or session tags
- The iframe sandbox
- Dashboard permissions
Answer: Row-level security or session tags — Parameters control display only; RLS or session tags restrict what can be queried.
Anonymous embedding enforces isolation using:
- UserName in the rules dataset
- Session tags matched by the rules dataset
- IAM roles per viewer
- Direct query mode
Answer: Session tags matched by the rules dataset — Anonymous users have no QuickSight identity, so session tags carry the entitlement.
Publishing an analysis as a dashboard means:
- They stay linked live
- Readers see a published snapshot while you keep editing
- The analysis is deleted
- Readers can edit it
Answer: Readers see a published snapshot while you keep editing — You republish when ready.
Which is the main cost lever in QuickSight?
- SPICE size
- The split between Authors and Readers
- Number of dashboards
- Refresh frequency
Answer: The split between Authors and Readers — Readers are considerably cheaper.
