GA Release notification: Snow Atlas – Data Visibility Restrictions for Application Registrations

We’re pleased to announce that administrators can now apply Data Visibility restrictions to application registrations in Snow Atlas, now generally available.

Release summary

Administrators can now set Data Visibility restrictions on application registrations (API clients) from the Snow Atlas UI. They do this by selecting organization nodes, the same way they grant access to users. Third-party tools and scripts that use Snow Atlas APIs can now only access data permitted by the restrictions applied to them. This closes the final use case of the Data Visibility initiative.

What’s included?

• Assign Data Visibility restrictions to application registrations directly in the Snow Atlas UI
• Use the same restriction model already used for users
• Make sure API clients only access data within their permitted organizational scope

Why this matters?

Customers register unattended applications in Snow Atlas to get client credentials and access Snow Atlas APIs for reporting and visualization. Until now, Data Visibility restrictions could be applied to users but not to application registrations, and they couldn’t be configured in the UI. As a result:

• API clients couldn’t be limited to the data that users in the same organization were permitted to see
• Enterprise customers couldn’t fully meet legal, regulatory and confidentiality requirements (e.g. GDPR) for non-user access
• MSPs couldn’t restrict API access per customer in line with their contractual obligations
• Customers had raised this repeatedly as an escalation
