As of April 15, 2025, the MODX Team has enabled the global view for the Backups and Snapshots for account users with the Manager role.
This announcement includes the following topics:
What is changing?
Previously, only users of an account with an Owner role could see the Backups and Snapshots tabs in the top menu of the MODX Cloud Dashboard. We have now made it so that Manager users can see the Backups and Snapshots; this gives them access to all the Backups and Snapshots for the entire account.
Why is MODX making this change?
This change is being made to make the permissions more consistent between the Owner and Manager user roles while maintaining the distinctions between them related to account-level access. We had always intended to have the Manager role be able to access these views, but when implementing this originally, we restricted it to Owner users only.
What do I need to do?
If you have users in your account whom you do not wish to have access to the account-wide Backups or Snapshot tab, you can change their role to that of a Member. To learn how to change roles for users, see this article, Manage Account Users.
