Granular Permissions for Snapshots in Sparkforge

Sparkforge breaks snapshot access into seven discrete permissions so you can give each team member exactly the access they need — no more, no less. Granular control lowers the risk of accidental deletes, unauthorized pushes, and stale shared snapshots.

The seven snapshot permissions

• View Snapshots — browse and access snapshots.
• Create Snapshots — generate new snapshots.
• Edit Snapshots — modify existing snapshots.
• Share/Import Snapshots — share snapshots out and import them in.
• Push Snapshots — push snapshots into accounts.
• Refresh Snapshots — update snapshot contents.
• Delete Snapshots — permanently remove snapshots.

How to manage permissions

1. Open Settings in your account.
2. Click Team to see your team members.
3. Select the user you want to update.
4. Click Edit User Option.
5. Open the Snapshot Scopes section.
6. Toggle each permission on or off based on what the user needs.
7. Click Save Changes.

Why use granular permissions

• Security — narrow access reduces the blast radius of a compromised account or a misclick.
• Compliance — match permissions to internal policies and audit requirements.
• Workflow clarity — assign permissions by role so it is obvious who owns each snapshot operation.

Best practices

• Review permissions when team members change roles.
• Restrict Delete Snapshots and Push Snapshots to trusted operators — both are destructive at scale.
• Document who has which permissions so the team knows where to route requests.
