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 inSnowflake:

• 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 thesesteps 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 userthe 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 Addressfield.

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 tothe account administrator role.

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 Snowflakeduring the connection process, including an empty database, warehouse, default user, and custom role. The partner application usesthese 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 additionalcustom 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 lateris a manual task.

   Attention

   Currently, you cannot use the Classic Console to specify shared databases (i.e. databases shared from provider accounts toyour account) for your Partner Connect trial during the initial connection process. If you select a shared database, theClassic 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.

Adding Partner IP Addresses to Network Policies¶

If you use a network policy to restrict access to your Snowflake account based on user IPaddress, partner applications will not be able to access your account unless you add the partner’s IP addresses to the list ofallowed 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 thepartner sites for this information:
