The former leadership contender says party members should be able to vote on key policy commitments.
But ex-cabinet secretary Fergus Ewing recently called for the SNP's membership to hold a new vote on it and branded the party's coalition partners "fringe extremists".
But the former finance secretary told BBC Scotland News: "I do believe quite strongly in the fact that our members ultimately should dictate the policy of the SNP in government and that we should not limit or restrict what members may want to discuss at the upcoming conference. Asked if members should vote on the deal, Ms Forbes said the matter was "a little bit more complicated than that" and added the agreement was not "set in stone".- which pre-dated the agreement - had been amended or changed."I am a democrat. I am answerable to my constituents and it is, I think, a mark of strength for a government to be able to pivot, to be able to deliver.
