Snowflake Partner Connect¶

Supported Partners¶

Currently, Partner Connect includes the following partners:

Security Requirements¶

Partner Connect is limited to account administrators (i.e. users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) who have a verified email address in Snowflake:

• To use Partner Connect, you must switch to the ACCOUNTADMIN role or contact someone in your organization who has the role.

• To verify your email address:

  Snowsight:

  In some cases, you automatically receive an email prompting you to Please Validate Your Email. If you did not, follow these steps to verify your email address:

  1. Sign in to Snowsight.

  2. Select your username, and then select Profile.

  3. Configure your email address:

     • If you do not have an email address listed, enter an email address in the Email field, and then select Save.

     • If you cannot enter an email address, an account administrator must either add an email address on your behalf or grant your user the role with the OWNERSHIP privilege on your user.

     • If you did not receive an email, select Resend verification email. Snowflake sends a verification email to the address listed.

  4. Open your email, and then select the link in the email to validate your email address.

  Classic Console:

  1. Select the dropdown menu next to your login name » Preferences » General.

  2. In the User Information area, add or verify your email address by selecting the appropriate link(s) in the Email Address field.

Connecting with a Snowflake Partner¶

To initiate a trial account with any Snowflake partner currently in Partner Connect:

1. Log into either Snowsight or the Classic Console.

2. Make ACCOUNTADMIN the active role in the interface:

   Either Interface:

   Click the dropdown menu next to your login name, then click Switch Role » ACCOUNTADMIN to change to the account administrator role.

3. Open the Partner Connect page:

   Snowsight:

   Select Data Products » Partner Connect.

   Classic Console:

   Select Partner Connect . The Snowflake Partner Connect page opens.

4. Click on the corresponding tile for the partner to which you wish to connect.

   A dialog displays the requirements for connecting to the partner, as well as a list of the objects automatically created in Snowflake during the connection process, including an empty database, warehouse, default user, and custom role. The partner application uses these objects when reading from or writing to your account.

5. Optionally specify one or more existing databases in Snowflake to automatically use with the trial. This creates an additional custom role that makes existing data in Snowflake quickly and easily available to the partner application.

   If you do not specify any databases during the initial connection process, you can specify them later; however, specifying them later is a manual task.

   Attention

   Currently, you cannot use the Classic Console to specify shared databases (i.e. databases shared from provider accounts to your account) for your Partner Connect trial during the initial connection process. If you select a shared database, the Classic Console returns an error when you click the Connect button to complete the process.

   To use shared databases with a trial:

   • Use Snowsight to complete the initial connection process.

   • Manually specify the shared database after the process completes.

6. Click the Connect button below the partner description to initiate creating a trial account with the partner and connecting the partner application to Snowflake.

When the process is complete and the objects have been created, the partner tile is updated with a checkmark.

Adding Partner IP Addresses to Network Policies¶

If you use a network policy to restrict access to your Snowflake account based on user IP address, partner applications will not be able to access your account unless you add the partner’s IP addresses to the list of allowed IP addresses in the network policy. For detailed instructions, see Modify a network policy.

The following table lists the IP addresses to add for each partner (if available and supported) or provides links to pages on the partner sites for this information:

Launching a Partner Application¶

After a partner application is connected to Snowflake:

1. On the Snowflake Partner Connect page, click the corresponding tile.

2. Click the Launch button to open the partner web site.

Disconnecting from a Partner Account¶

If you decide to discontinue a trial account initiated through Partner Connect for any reason, complete the following steps:

1. Log into either Snowsight or the Classic Console.

2. Make ACCOUNTADMIN the active role in the interface.

   Either Interface:

   Click the dropdown menu next to your login name, then click Switch Role » ACCOUNTADMIN to change to the account administrator role.

3. Open the Partner Connect page:

   Snowsight:

   Select Data Products » Partner Connect.

   Classic Console:

   Click on Partner Connect . The Snowflake Partner Connect page opens.

4. Click the tile for the partner application you are disconnecting from. In the dialog that opens, note the names of the database, warehouse, system user, and custom role objects that were created for the partner application during the initial connection process.

5. Use the appropriate DROP <object> command to remove each of the objects created for the partner application.

   Tip

   During the initial connection process, if you specified existing databases to use with the partner application, remember to also drop the PC_<partner>_DB_PICKER_ROLE role that was automatically created along with the other objects.

6. Contact Snowflake Support to clear the partner connection and remove the checkmark from the partner tile in Partner Connect.

7. If the trial does not expire on its own, contact the partner to end your participation in the trial.
