Restrict access to Snowflake and Settings

New users have access to Reporting, Developer, and Settings by default. Users with access to Settings can manage service account credentials that are used in machine-to-machine connections, for example, PowerBI.

You can restrict access to Developer and Settings to specific roles or individuals, while allowing them to access Reporting, if your institution uses Login for authentication.

. Restrict access to Snowflake and Settings
  • Assign a different system role in for users of Developer and Reporting. Each user who requires access needs to have the relevant system role assigned in :

    • Developer (access to Snowflake, Settings, and Reporting): select System Administrator

    • Reporting (only): select another role. We recommend you create a new role.

  • Check that these users are part of the correct login group that provides access to via Login.

  • Log a support ticket requesting user group mapping and provide the details of your chosen system roles.
