# DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes
<a name="API_DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes"></a>

Returns a list of DB snapshot attribute names and values for a manual DB snapshot.

When sharing snapshots with other AWS accounts, `DescribeDBSnapshotAttributes` returns the `restore` attribute and a list of IDs for the AWS accounts that are authorized to copy or restore the manual DB snapshot. If `all` is included in the list of values for the `restore` attribute, then the manual DB snapshot is public and can be copied or restored by all AWS accounts.

To add or remove access for an AWS account to copy or restore a manual DB snapshot, or to make the manual DB snapshot public or private, use the `ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute` API action.
