alterShareAccounts

Last updated: January 27, 2026

Manages account access to a Snowflake share by adding, setting, or removing accounts.

Note: This change type does not support automatic rollback or database inspection features (snapshot, diff, diff-changelog, and generate-changelog commands).

Available attributes

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
`shareName`	String	Name of the share to alter	Yes
`ifExists`	Boolean	Don't error if the share doesn't exist	No
`addAccounts`	AccountsOperation	Adds new accounts to the share (nested element)*	No
`setAccounts`	AccountsOperation	Replaces all accounts with new list (nested element)*	No
`removeAccounts`	AccountsOperation	Removes specific accounts from the share (nested element)*	No

* Exactly one of addAccounts, setAccounts, or removeAccounts must be specified.

AccountsOperation attributes

Attribute	Type	Description	Required	Applicable to
`accounts`	List<Account>	List of account identifiers	Yes	All operations
`shareRestrictions`	Boolean	Enable/disable share restrictions	No	ADD, SET only

Account identifier formats

Snowflake supports multiple account identifier formats:

Format	Example
Legacy account locator	`AB12345`
Organization.account	`MYORG.MYACCOUNT`
Account locator with region	`xy12345.us-east-1`
Full cloud/region format	`xy12345.us-east-1.aws`

Operation semantics

Operation	Behavior
ADD ACCOUNTS	Adds accounts to existing list (accumulative)
SET ACCOUNTS	Replaces entire account list (destructive)
REMOVE ACCOUNTS	Removes specific accounts from list (selective)

Share restrictions

The `shareRestrictions` parameter controls whether consumer accounts can reshare data:

true: Prevents accounts from resharing data to other accounts
false: Allows accounts to reshare data (default Snowflake behavior)
Only applicable to `ADD ACCOUNTS` and `SET ACCOUNTS` operations
