  The ID of the dashboard that you want to start a snapshot job for.

• SnapshotJobId (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  An ID for the dashboard snapshot job. This ID is unique to the dashboard while the job is running. This ID can be used to poll the status of a job with a DescribeDashboardSnapshotJob while the job runs. You can reuse this ID for another job 24 hours after the current job is completed.

• UserConfiguration (dict) –

        These are not the tags that are used for Amazon Web Services resource tagging. For more information on row level security in Amazon QuickSight, see `Using Row-Level Security (RLS) with Tags <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/quicksight-dev-rls-tags.html>`__in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.
