# Can you grant me write permissions?

Your Elation Snowflake account is a read only account. You will not be able to modify, delete, or add data in a reader account.

We recommend creating your own Snowflake account and setting up a Direct Share with your Elation read only account to gain write access.

Please refer to these articles for more information on Direct Shares:
