Using resharing as a provider¶

As a provider, you can enable resharing on your listings so that consumers can reshare your data product with other accounts. This topic describes how to set up and manage resharing as a provider.

Enabling resharing on a listing¶

Before resharing listings, the provider must enable the resharing property in the listing manifest reference or in Snowsight when creating the listing.

To allow consumers to reshare your data product, set the resharing.enabled property to true in the listing manifest:

resharing:
  enabled: true

To require that any consumer who reshares your listing can only reshare it to accounts within the consumer’s organization, also set resharing.only_within_organization to true in the listing manifest:

resharing:
  enabled: true
  only_within_organization: true

With this property set, your consumer can only reshare within their own organization. This holds at every level: no matter how many times the listing is reshared downstream, access to your data stays within the original consumer’s organization.

For the full listing manifest reference, see Listing manifest reference.

Default resharing behavior for organizational listings¶

For organizational listings, enabling resharing without specifying only_within_organization defaults to resharing within the organization. The following YAML shows this default behavior:

resharing:
  enabled: true

Disabling resharing¶

You can disable resharing at any time by setting resharing.enabled to false and republishing the listing. When you disable resharing, downstream consumption breaks for all consumers of any reshared listings created from your listing.

Supported context functions¶

If your shared data uses context functions in governance policies or secure view definitions, only the following context functions are supported for resharing. These functions return values as if they were executed by the account doing the resharing, not by the downstream consumer:

• CURRENT_ACCOUNT
• CURRENT_ACCOUNT_NAME
• IS_DATABASE_ROLE_IN_SESSION
• CURRENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME
• CURRENT_DATE
• CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

If you add or change governance policies on your base tables that use unsupported context functions, resharers won’t be able to reshare your data even if resharing.enabled is set to true. Downstream consumers of reshared listings will also lose access.

Enabling cross-region resharing for your resharers¶

To support cross-region resharing, enable change_tracking on your tables. For more information, see Change tracking not enabled on base tables.
