A Data Analyst is creating a Snowsight dashboard from a shared worksheet. What happens to the access and permissions of the users who initially had sharing privileges on the worksheet?
A.
The original users retain access and permissions on the worksheet.
B.
The original users gain additional access to the worksheet.
C.
The original users temporarily lose access but regain it once the dashboard is created.
D.
The original users lose access to the worksheet, their permissions on the worksheet are revoked.
When working within the Snowsight interface, the transition from a standalone worksheet to a dashboard component involves a change in how the underlying SQL and its associated metadata are managed. When a worksheet is converted or used to create a dashboard, the ownership and sharing model shifts to the dashboard level.
According to Snowflake's documentation on Snowsight collaboration, when a user creates a dashboard from a worksheet that was previously shared with others, the original worksheet's individual share settings are essentially superseded by the dashboard's own permissions. In many workflow scenarios within the UI, once the worksheet is finalized into a dashboard tile, the direct, independent access to that specific worksheet is severed for the original "sharees." Their permissions on that specific worksheet are revoked to prevent conflicting edits between the standalone version and the dashboard-integrated version.
Evaluating the Options:
Option A is incorrect because Snowsight manages the lifecycle of worksheets used in dashboards as part of the dashboard object; independent sharing of the underlying worksheet is typically disabled or revoked.
Option B and C are distractors; there is no mechanism in Snowsight that grants "additional" access or "temporary" loss during the creation process.
Option D is the 100% correct answer based on the SnowPro Data Analyst standard regarding Snowsight object ownership and sharing lifecycle. To allow others to see the work, the Analyst must now share the Dashboard itself, rather than relying on the previous worksheet-level permissions. This ensures a "single source of truth" for the visualization's logic.
