Feature: Sharing & Permissions

Share Maps with Your Organization—Control What They Can Do

Securely share maps with specific users or your entire organization. SSO enforced, permissions granular, data always fresh.

Problem

Sharing geospatial insights often means exporting screenshots or PDFs that are instantly out of date. Giving stakeholders direct access to mapping tools means training, licensing costs, and security concerns. And keeping everyone looking at the same current data? That requires constant re-exports and version confusion.

Solution

Honeycomb Maps lets you share interactive maps with specific Snowflake users or everyone in your organization. Recipients get exactly the experience you intend—view-only for consumers, edit access for collaborators. SSO is enforced, so there are no separate credentials to manage. And because data loads fresh from Snowflake every time, everyone always sees the latest information.

Key Benefits

Granular permission levels

Share with view permissions for consumers who should interact but not modify, or edit permissions for collaborators who need to adjust the map configuration.

SSO enforced

Authentication flows through your existing Snowflake SSO setup. No separate credentials, no password management, no security gaps.

Always current data

Maps load fresh data from Snowflake every time they're opened. No stale exports, no sync issues—everyone sees the same up-to-date information.

Role-based UI adaptation

Users with viewer roles see a streamlined interface focused on exploration. Editors get the full configuration experience. The UI adapts to match each user's needs.

Example Use Case

A real estate analytics firm shares market analysis maps with their local teams. Each team can view and interact with maps showing properties in their target areas and apply filters to focus on specific criteria. But they can't modify the underlying map configuration. The analytics team maintains full control while giving each team an tailored, interactive experience.
