Assign a License and Permissions to Snapshot Users

Provide all non-admin Scratch Org Snapshots users with a supported license and access to the required scratch org and snapshot objects. Dev Hub (production org) admins can create and manage snapshots by default.
  1. Log in to your Dev Hub org as the admin user.
  2. Assign to each snapshot user a Salesforce, Salesforce Platform, or Salesforce Limited Access license.
  3. In Setup, create a permission set or select an existing one.
  4. From the permission set’s Object Settings, select Org Snapshots, then click Edit.
    1. Under Object Permissions, select Read, Create, and Delete.
    2. (Optional) Add these object permissions to the permission set.
    • To allow users to see snapshots that other users create, select View All Records.
    • To allow users to delete snapshots that other users create, select Modify All Records (Salesforce license only).
  5. If snapshot users don’t already have access to the required scratch org objects (Scratch Org Info and Active Scratch Orgs) through another permission set, include access to them in this permission set.
    See Required Permissions for Scratch Orgs in Create and Assign a Permission Set to Developer Users for details.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Click Manage Assignments, then Add Assignment.
  8. Select the users, click Next, and optionally set an expiration date.
  9. Click Assign, then Done.
