Research direction

Start by reproducing the example's Access Denied error, then inspect the repository's CloudFormation templates and setup scripts for the S3 buckets and QuickSight AWS Permissions. Compare the configuration with the linked forum report and verify the intended bucket is authorized. Done means the example works with the documented setup, including any required synchronization step.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The example as below doens't work with Access Denied errors. Also you create not one but two buckets and don't use them. What it took to make this work was to do an aws s3 sync between your bucket and one in my account and then ticking that in the Quicksight AWS Permissions settings so it got added to the policy. Was this why you were creating the bucket but forgot to mention the sync step?
