Aws_quicksight_account_subscription, clarification needed on Pixel-Perfect Reports

Terraform Providers AWS
1

Hi!

I am looking into automating Quicksight setup and was planning to use this resource to set up a subscription:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/quicksight_account_subscription

While I see the option to set up the edition variable: STANDARD , ENTERPRISE or ENTERPRISE_AND_Q, I need some clarification on whether or not Enterprise would also enable “Pixel-Perfect” reports by default.

Is there any way to avoid this?

I am referring to this option that shows up on account creation:

A 500$ upfront fee is definitely something within my budget and I would like some guarantee that it won’t be enabled by default.

Hey @MitchIonascu,

Configuring pixel perfect reports would indeed require additional resources. From what I could find, it seems that for those to be enabled, you’d need to specifically enable them at the organization level, and then configure them separately.

Thank you so much for getting back to me!

Just to clarify, If I were to apply a resource like this:

resource "aws_quicksight_account_subscription" "subscription" {
  account_name          = "quicksight-terraform"
  authentication_method = "IAM_AND_QUICKSIGHT"
  edition               = "ENTERPRISE"
  notification_email    = "notification@email.com"
}

Considering I am only selecting ENTERPRISE here, the pixel perfect report should not be enabled by default? I believe you can understand my reluctance since if this is not accurate, I will be charged 500$ upfront :smiley:

You are saying that it will in fact NOT enable this option once I apply this TF resource.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you!
