Snowflake Data Clean Rooms: Identity and data provider connectors

You can use connectors to integrate your clean room environment with what your ecosystem partners provides. This topic describes how the clean room admin can configure a connector so that users can enhance their data in the clean room with data provided by an identity partner.

If you are a provider who wants to control which connectors show up as options when a clean room user is creating or installing a clean room, see Customize available connectors.

Important

Third-party connectors are not offered by Snowflake and may be subject to additional terms. These integrations are made available for your convenience, but you are responsible for any content sent to or received from the integrations.

Customers are responsible for obtaining any necessary consents in connection with their use of Snowflake Data Clean Rooms. Please ensure that you are complying with applicable laws and regulations when using Snowflake Data Clean Rooms, including in connection with third-party connectors for activation purposes.

Acxiom Real ID connector

Acxiom Real ID lets you generate Real IDs securely within Snowflake, without ever needing to transfer personally identifiable information (PII) outside your Snowflake account.

Tip

For additional help, read the Acxiom Real ID documentation or contact accrealid@acxiom.com for support.

Prerequisites

  1. Before configuring the Acxiom connector, you must contact Acxiom for help installing their native app.

  2. Before a clean room administrator configures the connector, the owner of the Acxiom native app must:

    2. Assume the role that has ownership rights to the Acxiom native app. For example, if the acxiom_admin_role role is the owner of the Acxiom native app, execute:

      USE ROLE acxiom_admin_role;
      Copy

    3. Execute the following command to grant Snowflake Data Clean Rooms access to the Acxiom realid_app_role application role:

      GRANT APPLICATION ROLE <acxiom_app_database>.realid_app_role
  TO ROLE samooha_app_role;
      Copy

TransUnion TruAudience Identity connector

TransUnion TruAudience Identity provides consumer data hygiene, enrichment, and matching solutions using online and offline identifiers.

This section describes how to configure the connector for TransUnion TruAudience Identity. If you are a clean room user who wants to use TransUnion TruAudience Identity during the creation or installation process, see Identity Hub: TransUnion TruAudience Identity.

After you configure the connector, Snowflake maintains a cache that maps TransUnion collaborator IDs to values that uniquely identify records in the source table. As an administrator, you can manage this cache, for example, by deleting specific records from the cache. For more information, see Cache for TransUnion TruAudience Identity.

Prerequisites

The following must be completed before configuring the TransUnion TruAudience Identity connector in the clean room environment:

Prerequisite 1: Install the TransUnion native app

Use the Snowflake Marketplace to install the native app for TransUnion TruAudience Identity.

Prerequisite 2: Grant privileges to the SAMOOHA_APP_ROLE role

After the TransUnion native app has been installed, but before a clean room administrator configures the connector, the owner of the TransUnion native app must:

  1. Sign in to Snowsight.

  2. Assume the role that has ownership rights to the TransUnion native app. For example, if the tu_admin_role role is the owner of the TransUnion native app, execute:

    USE ROLE tu_admin_role;
    Copy

  3. Execute the following command to grant Snowflake Data Clean Rooms access to the TransUnion application role:

    GRANT APPLICATION ROLE <transunion_app_database>.tru_app_public
   TO ROLE samooha_app_role;
    Copy
Prerequisite 3: Ensure required stored procedure exists

The TransUnion connector relies on a stored procedure, which might not exist in some clean room environments. To ensure that the stored procedure exists, execute the following command as a user with the ACCOUNTADMIN role:

USE ROLE ACCOUNTADMIN;

DESCRIBE PROCEDURE SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE_LOCAL_DB.PUBLIC.GRANT_EXTERNAL_APP_ROLE;
Copy

If you receive an error that the procedure does not exist, you must use the following commands to create it:

USE ROLE ACCOUNTADMIN;

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE_LOCAL_DB.PUBLIC.GRANT_EXTERNAL_APP_ROLE(APP_ROLE string, APPLICATION string)
   RETURNS string
   LANGUAGE SQL
   EXECUTE AS OWNER
   AS
   $$
   GRANT APPLICATION ROLE IDENTIFIER(:APP_ROLE) TO APPLICATION IDENTIFIER(:APPLICATION);
   $$;

GRANT USAGE ON PROCEDURE SAMOOHA_BY_SNOWFLAKE_LOCAL_DB.PUBLIC.GRANT_EXTERNAL_APP_ROLE(string, string) TO ROLE SAMOOHA_APP_ROLE;
Copy

Configure connector

To configure the TransUnion TruAudience Identity connector:

  1. Sign in to your clean room environment in the web app.

  2. In the left navigation, select Connectors.

  3. Select the Identity & Data Providers tab.

  4. Expand TransUnion - TruAudience Identity.
