# ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute
<a name="API_ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute"></a>

Adds an attribute and values to, or removes an attribute and values from, a manual DB snapshot.

To share a manual DB snapshot with other AWS accounts, specify `restore` as the `AttributeName` and use the `ValuesToAdd` parameter to add a list of IDs of the AWS accounts that are authorized to restore the manual DB snapshot. Uses the value `all` to make the manual DB snapshot public, which means it can be copied or restored by all AWS accounts.

**Note**  
Don't add the `all` value for any manual DB snapshots that contain private information that you don't want available to all AWS accounts.

If the manual DB snapshot is encrypted, it can be shared, but only by specifying a list of authorized AWS account IDs for the `ValuesToAdd` parameter. You can't use `all` as a value for that parameter in this case.

To view which AWS accounts have access to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, or whether a manual DB snapshot public or private, use the [DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes](API_DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes.md) API operation. The accounts are returned as values for the `restore` attribute.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute_RequestParameters"></a>

 For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 ** AttributeName **   
The name of the DB snapshot attribute to modify.  
To manage authorization for other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, set this value to `restore`.  
To view the list of attributes available to modify, use the [DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes](API_DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes.md) API operation.
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** DBSnapshotIdentifier **   
The identifier for the DB snapshot to modify the attributes for.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 **ValuesToAdd.AttributeValue.N**   
A list of DB snapshot attributes to add to the attribute specified by `AttributeName`.  
To authorize other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more AWS account IDs, or `all` to make the manual DB snapshot restorable by any AWS account. Do not add the `all` value for any manual DB snapshots that contain private information that you don't want available to all AWS accounts.  
Type: Array of strings  
Required: No

 **ValuesToRemove.AttributeValue.N**   
A list of DB snapshot attributes to remove from the attribute specified by `AttributeName`.  
To remove authorization for other AWS accounts to copy or restore a manual snapshot, set this list to include one or more AWS account identifiers, or `all` to remove authorization for any AWS account to copy or restore the DB snapshot. If you specify `all`, an AWS account whose account ID is explicitly added to the `restore` attribute can still copy or restore the manual DB snapshot.  
Type: Array of strings  
Required: No
