Baseline snapshots are snapshots that will not be deleted in the grooming process. To mark snapshots as baseline, you can right-click the snapshot and choose Mark as Baseline.
| When a snapshot should be marked as baseline | Importance |
|---|---|
| When you take your first snapshot | To have a starting point to use to identify changes to permissions over time |
| At the end of the month, quarter, or year | To track compliance to your database security policies |
| When you implement a new security model | To identify unwanted changes or issues with the new model |
| When you notice problems or irregularities in permission settings in a snapshot | To analyze the issue to correct problems and change permissions settings |
