Sharing dashboards - AWS Cost Management

Sharing dashboards

You can share dashboards with accounts in your AWS Organization or with external accounts (using AWS Resource Access Manager). When you share a dashboard, only dashboard configurations are shared, not the underlying data. Recipients receive access to the dashboard layout and widget configurations, and will see data based on their own access permissions.

The shared configuration includes all filter values, tag keys and values, and widget parameters. For example, if you have widgets filtered to show data for specific accounts, those account numbers will be visible to recipients in the filter configurations. Similarly, any tag keys and values used in your dashboard will be visible in the shared configuration.

To share a dashboard
  1. Open the Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Dashboards.

  3. Select the dashboard you want to share.

  4. Choose Share.

  5. Select the accounts you want to share the dashboard with:

    • Share with accounts in your AWS Organization

    • Share with external AWS accounts

  6. Set permissions:

    • Read-only access ("Can view") Recipients can view the dashboard but cannot make changes

    • Edit access ("Can edit") Recipients can view and modify the dashboard configuration

  7. Choose Share.

When you share a dashboard, new resource shares are automatically created in AWS RAM. If AWS RAM sharing with AWS Organizations is enabled, users in recipient accounts can access shared dashboards immediately (subject to their identity-based IAM permissions). If AWS RAM sharing with Organizations is not enabled, administrators in recipient accounts will need to accept the resource share invitation.

Note
  • If sharing outside your organization, recipients must accept the share invitation in AWS RAM. Recipients should navigate to Resource shares under Shared with me in the AWS RAM console, ensuring they are in the same Region where the share was created. After selecting and accepting the invitation in Resource shares, the shared dashboard will appear in the recipient's Billing and Cost Management console under Dashboards. If the invitation is not immediately visible, recipients should verify they are using the correct AWS account and Region.

  • To view or edit shared dashboards, users in recipient accounts must have appropriate IAM permissions (for example, ListDashboards, GetDashboard).

  • To see data in shared dashboards, users must also have permissions to the underlying APIs that provide that data (for example, GetCostAndUsage).

  • You can revoke access to shared dashboards at any time.
