# Enable Snowflake Tag Ingestion

Enable Snowflake tag ingestion to pull Snowflake tags and apply them to data sources

To allow Immuta to automatically import table and column tags from Snowflake, enable Snowflake tag ingestion in the external catalog section of the Immuta app settings page.

**Requirements**

* A configured Snowflake connection
* The Snowflake user configuring the Snowflake tag ingestion must have the following privileges and should be able to access all securables registered as data sources:
  * `IMPORTED PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE snowflake`
  * `APPLY TAG ON ACCOUNT`

{% hint style="info" %}
**Credentials**

Use the same credentials as your connection.

For tag ingestion to work smoothly, ensure the credentials provided for tag ingestion can access all the data objects in Immuta. Any data objects the credentials do not have access to will not be tagged.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the **App Settings** page.
2. Scroll to **2 External Catalogs**, and click **Add Catalog**.
3. Enter a **Display Name** and select **Snowflake** from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter the **Account**.
5. Enter the **Authentication** information based on your authentication method:
   1. **Username and password**: Fill out **Username** and **Password**.
   2. **Key pair**:
      1. Fill out **Username**.
      2. Click **Upload Certificates** to enter in the **Certificate Authority**, **Certificate File**, and **Key File**.
      3. Close the modal and opt to enter the **Encrypted Key File Passphrase**.
6. Enter the additional Snowflake details: **Port**, **Default Warehouse**, and **Role**.
7. Opt to enter the **Proxy Host** and **Proxy Port**.
8. Click the **Test Connection** button.
9. Click the **Test Data Source Link**.
10. Once both tests are successful, click **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/latest/configuration/integrations/snowflake/how-to-guides/enable-snowflake-tag-ingestion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
