-Specialized configurations that allow users to authenticate with a different identity service can also work, even if not directly supported from inside Amazon QuickSight. For example, you can use Amazon Cognito as is described in the [Embedded Analytics Tutorial](https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/embedded-analytics-tutorial-introduction/). This authentication method works because it is compatible and transparent to Amazon QuickSight.
