'How to fix: " AccessDeniedException: You are in ap-southeast-1, but your directory region is us-east-1. Please use us-east-1 as region."

Im trying out aws quicksight getting started tutorial: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/embedded-dashboards-with-iam-setup-step-3.html

Im at a step to use

     aws quicksight register-user --aws-account-id XXXXXXXXX --namespace 
     default --identity-type IAM --iam-arn 
     "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXX:role/qsembed" --user-role READER --session-name 
     "[email protected]" --email XXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXX .com --region ap- southeast-1

however I get hit with

"An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the RegisterUser operation: You are in ap-southeast-1, but your directory region is us-east-1. Please use us-east-1 as region. "

the quicksight and main AWS accounts are both on singapore (ap-southeast-1). No documentation seems to solve this problem

Help would be very much appreciated

aws-cli amazon-quicksight

Quicksight maintains user register in one region and analysis and dashboard can be created in different regions. As the error message says you have to use --region us-east-1.
