Connecting to your Snowflake data warehouse

Roles and permissions

The following roles can configure the Snowflake data warehouse:

  • Administrators

To begin using Self-service reporting set up a Snowflake service account and password for your organization. This setup process is done from within Hyperproof. The setup process creates your data warehouse on Hyperproof's Snowflake server and begins collecting Hyperproof data.

Once the initial setup is complete, you can add more users to your data warehouse as needed, delete users, or reset passwords.

Caution

The data warehouse contains all data from Hyperproof. If you need to limit visibility for certain audiences, you may need to filter the data.

  1. From the left menu, select Settings.

  2. From the Settings menu, select Self-service reporting.

  3. Click the New button to add a service account and password for your data warehouse.

  4. In the Username field, enter the new user name for the data warehouse.

  5. In the Password field, create a password for the data warehouse.

    Passwords must be at least 8 characters and contain at least 3 of the following 4 types of characters:

    • lowercase letters (a-z)

    • uppercase letters (A-Z)

    • numbers (0-9)

    • special characters, such as !@#$%^&*

  6. Click Create.

    The Create Snowflake account window indicates that your data warehouse is being created. The connection information displays in the window. Use this information to connect to your data warehouse.
