Sharing Worksheets and Dashboards

Preview Feature — Open

Available to all accounts.

Currently, this feature is not supported for Snowflake accounts in government regions.

Snowsight enables users to send colleagues links to view or run worksheets, folders, and dashboards you own. Owners of these items can optionally allow colleagues to fork shared worksheets to pursue new directions of analysis.

Sharing Worksheets, Folders, and Dashboards

Worksheets navigation:

Worksheets » My Worksheets (or open a local worksheet under Recent or in Folders) » <worksheet_name>

Folders navigation:

Worksheets » Folders » <folder_name>

Dashboards navigation:

Dashboards » My Dashboards (or open a local dashboard under Recent) » <dashboard_name>

You can share worksheets, folders, and dashboards you own with other Snowflake users in your account. To view query results, these users must have the role currently set in the session context when the worksheet is shared.

To share an item:

1. Click the Share button. The Share dialog opens.

   Objects can be shared in either of two ways:

   Invite by name or username

   Search for a person to share the object with individually.

   People with link

   Share a link to the object with one or more people. By default, other users who navigate to the link cannot view the item.

2. Set the permission granted on the worksheet, folder, or dashboard for either share option.

   Edit

   This permission allows users to edit the object. This permission can only be set when inviting an individual user to access the object. This permission cannot be set when sharing the object via a link.

   View + run

   This permission allows users to execute queries to see the latest results using the session context set in the source worksheet, the worksheets in the folder, or the dashboard by the owner.

   View results

   This permission restricts users to only see the query results current at the time the worksheet, folder, or dashboard was shared. To execute queries again, the users must duplicate a worksheet or dashboard and run the local copy.

3. Click the Done button.

4. Copy the link in the browser address bar and share it with other users.

   Note that the link never changes, regardless of any edits you make to the item.

A worksheet or dashboard shared with View results permissions can be duplicated and executed using your own role and warehouse.

1. Open a shared worksheet or dashboard. The Run () button is replaced with a Run as… button.

2. Click the button. The Duplicate and run Worksheet as… dialog opens.

3. Select the role and warehouse to use when executing queries.

   Note that the query may not execute at all, or may return unexpected results, if the role you select is different from the role identified in the dialog.

4. Click the Duplicate and Run button. A local copy of the worksheet or dashboard is saved, and queries are executed using the role and warehouse you specified.
