Amazon QuickSight supports identity federation through Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) in both Standard and Enterprise editions. With federation, you can manage users using your enterprise identity provider (IdP) and pass them to QuickSight at login. Such IdPs include Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services, Ping One Federation Server, and Okta.

This post provides step-by-step guidance to configure federated single sign-on (SSO) between QuickSight and Okta. We also demonstrate ways to assign QuickSight roles based on Okta membership. Administrators can publish QuickSight applications in the Okta Portal, enabling users to SSO to QuickSight using their Okta credentials.
