QuickSight: Remove Idle Users

Updated this week

Difficulty: Easy

Description

We identified several QuickSight users in your account that are idle. Removing these users can help reduce your QuickSight bill.


Selection Criteria

  • The QuickSight user has not logged in for the last 30 days.


Expected Saving

QuickSight bills per active user/month — Author users cost $18/month (annual subscription), Reader users cost up to $5/month. Removing idle users directly eliminates those per-user charges.


Operational Impact

  • Breaking changes: The removed user immediately loses access to all QuickSight dashboards and datasets. Re-invitation is required to restore access.

  • ⚠️ Warning — Verify before removing: Removing a user requires re-invitation and group/dashboard reassignment to restore access. Validate inactivity with the user's manager before proceeding.
