Getting Started with Snowflake
Learn how to best implement Immuta with Snowflake in your data ecosystem
The how-to guides linked on this page illustrate how to integrate Snowflake with Immuta. See the reference guide for information about the Snowflake integration.
Requirements
Snowflake enterprise edition
Access to a Snowflake account that can create a Snowflake user
Connect your technology
These guides provide instructions on getting your data set up in Immuta for the Request and Govern apps.
: Using a single setup process, connect Snowflake to Immuta. This will register your data objects into Immuta and allow you to start dictating access through access requests or global policies.
: Use domains to segment your data and assign responsibilities to the appropriate team members. These domains will then be used to manage permissions for publishing data products, authoring policies, viewing audit and managing identification.
Register your users
These guides provide instructions on getting your users set up in Immuta for the Request and Govern apps.
: Bring the IAM your organization already uses and allow Immuta to register your users for you.
: Ensure the user IDs in Immuta, Snowflake, and your IAM are aligned so that the right policies impact the right users.
Start using the Request app
These guides provide instructions on using the for the first time.
: Once you register your data, assets will appear in the Request app where you can attach request forms.
: After you set up request forms, you can put access request links in your catalog for your data consumers to click. This will take them to the Request app to fill out the request form to request access to data.
Add data metadata
These guides provide instructions on getting your data metadata set up in Immuta for the Govern app.
: Bring the external catalog your organization already uses and allow Immuta to continually sync your tags with your data sources for you.
: Identification allows you to automate data tagging using identifiers that detect certain data patterns.
Start using the Govern app
These guides provide instructions on using the Govern app for the first time.
: Once you add your data metadata to Immuta, you can immediately create policies that utilize your tags and apply to your tables. Subscription policies can be created to dictate access to data sources.
: Data metadata can also be used to create data policies that apply to data sources as they are registered in Immuta. Data policies dictate what data a user can see once they are granted access to a data source. Using catalog and identification tags you can create proactive policies, knowing that they will apply to data sources as they are added to Immuta with the automated tagging.
