What it’s for
The Data access panel in the sidebar shows the data you can use in Snowfire: your connectors and your documents.
Before you start
Everyone sees their own panel. To change who has access to a connector, you need the Admin role, or Data Admin on that connector.
Steps
See your data
- In the sidebar, find Data access.
- Open Connectors to see each connector you can access, or choose Connect more data to add a source.
- Open Documents to view a document or use it in a prompt.
Hide it or bring it back
- Choose the hide icon on the panel, then Hide for now or Don’t show again.
- To bring it back, open Profile, choose Preferences and turn on Show data access in sidebar.
Change who has access
- Open the connector from Data Management and choose the User Access tab.
- Select several people and set their access at once. The list updates to match.
- Show the access list as cards or as a table. Your choice is remembered.
A data access link opens in a new tab with a normal click, middle-click or right-click Open in new tab. The setting in the tab you already had open does not change.
