QuickSight Data Source

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > QuickSight Data Source

An AWS QuickSight Data Source is a connection configuration that defines how Amazon QuickSight accesses external data. It stores details such as the type of data source, connection parameters, authentication information, and permissions. This resource allows QuickSight to securely connect to databases, files, or other AWS services so users can build dashboards and visualizations from the underlying data.
