> Creating a snapshot requires table admin permissions. But cloning it requires
> global admin permissions unless the user owns the snapshot and wants to
> recreate the original table the snapshot was based on using the same table
> name. This puts unnecessary load on the few people having global admin
> permissions. I would like to relax this rule a bit and allow the owner of the
> snapshot to clone it into any namespace where they have admin permissions
> regardless of the table name used.
