Release Notes

NEW Role Impersonation

Administrators can now use the role drop-down to "impersonate" any in-app role. Switch to another role to see exactly what that role sees in the app—useful for testing permissions, troubleshooting access issues, or understanding the experience of different user groups.

IMPROVED Application Roles

Reseed no longer requires Snowflake roles to follow any specific naming convention. The app now checks session roles for the presence of the app_admin or app_user application role, making it much more flexible and unopinionated about your account's role structure.

Grant the application roles to any existing Snowflake roles you prefer—no need to create dedicated RESEED_APP_ADMIN or RESEED_APP_USER roles unless you want to.

IMPROVED In-App Documentation

• Enhanced help text throughout the application
• Clearer guidance for Seed configuration options
• Improved inline documentation for validation rules
