Set up a Snowflake connector

Integrate your Snowflake instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews, enable just-in-time access requests, and easily provision and deprovision access.

A newer version of this connector is available. This version of the connector is no longer available for installation. If you’re setting up a Snowflake connector with ConductorOne for the first time, use the v2 version.

Capabilities

• Sync user identities from Snowflake to ConductorOne

• Resources supported:

  • Roles

Add a new Snowflake connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

1. In ConductorOne, navigate to Admin > Connectors and click Add connector.

2. Search for Snowflake and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Snowflake connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
   • Create a new managed app

   Do you SSO into Snowflake using your identity, SSO, or federation provider? If so, make sure to add the connector to the unmanaged Snowflake app that was created automatically when you integrated your provider with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new managed app.

4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

   A Snowflake connector owner must have the following permissions:

   • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
   • Manage Grants global privilege in Snowflake
5. Click Next.

Next steps

• If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Snowflake connector for instructions on integrating Snowflake with ConductorOne.

• If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Snowflake connector

A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and Manage Grants global privilege in Snowflake must perform this task.

You will be required to choose a Snowflake role with Manage Grants global privilege after the initial connector setup is complete.

Step 1: Locate the Snowflake Locator for your account

1. In Snowflake, click Organization.

2. Locate the account you wish to connect to ConductorOne in the accounts list.

3. Hover over the value in the LOCATOR column, and click the copy function. We’ll use this in Step 2.

   

Step 2: Add your Snowflake credentials to ConductorOne

1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Snowflake connector by either:

   • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.
   • Navigate to Connectors > Snowflake (if there is more than one Snowflake listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).
2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

3. In the Account ID / Locator field, enter the locator you looked up in Step 1.

4. In the Username field, enter your Snowflake account username.

5. In the Password field, enter your Snowflake account password.

6. Click Save.

7. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Step 3: Choose a role in Snowflake

1. In Snowflake, go to User roles and click Edit.

   
2. Select a user role. A role that’s equivalent to SECURITYADMIN is required.

   
3. Click Add User role.

4. Click Save.

5. Return to ConductorOne. After you see the Connector updated message, click on View logs to verify that the connector syncs successfully.

That’s it! Your Snowflake connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
