This is an updated and improved version of the Snowflake connector! If you’re setting up Snowflake with ConductorOne for the first time, you’re in the right place.

Capabilities

• Sync user identities from Snowflake to ConductorOne

• Resources supported:

  • Account roles
  • Databases

Add a new Snowflake connector

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

1. In ConductorOne, click Connectors > Add connector.

2. Search for Snowflake v2 and click Add.

   Don’t see the Snowflake v2 connector? Reach out to support@conductorone.com to add Snowflake v2 to your Connectors page.

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: Generate a private key and public key fingerprint

1. Generate an unencrypted private key in PEM format by running the following command:

   openssl genrsa 2048 | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -out rsa_key.p8 -nocrypt
   

2. Next, use the private key to generate the public key fingerprint. Run the following command:

   openssl rsa -in rsa_key.p8 -pubout -out rsa_key.pub
   

3. Carefully copy and save both the private key and the public key fingerprint. We’ll use these in step 4.

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 v2 (if there is more than one Snowflake v2 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 URL field, enter the URL of your Snowflake instance, which is in the form <organization name>-<account name>. snowflakecomputing.org.

4. In the Account ID / Locator field, enter your Snowflake account identifier, which is in the form <organization name>-<account name>.

5. In the Username field, enter your Snowflake username.

6. In the Public key fingerprint and Private key fields, enter the credentials you generated in Step 1.

7. Click Save.

8. 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.

Configure the Snowflake integration using Terraform

As an alternative to the integration process described above, you can use Terraform to configure the integration between Snowflake and ConductorOne.

See the ConductorOne Snowflake integration resource page in the ConductorOne Terraform registry for example usage and the full list of required and optional parameters.
