Any workaround available for this issue?

[darken99]

You have to check your permissions. If that doesn't help please open a Support Case to CloudFormation queue to find the reason.

@aleem-99 Same issue too ?

[vparmeland]

It's probably not a Cloudformation issue but a permission issue in the CUR CF Stack

I found the root cause, it was because of Quicksight being set to standard edition, after upgrading to Enterprise edition, stack is working now. CreateDashboard API on Quicksight is supported only for enterprise users.

This issue had me stuck for longer than I'd like to admit. The fix of enabling Quicksights as Enterprise worked for me. The documentation does mentioned under Enable QuickSight: Step 3 > After pressing the Sign up button you will be presented with 2 options, please ensure you select the Enterprise Edition during this step
