Default Warehouse for User

The Snowflake service user needs to have a default warehouse set. Check out these Snowflake docs to see how to set a default warehouse.

​
Necessary Credentials

  • Username
    • This is your service user’s username
    • Example: explo_user
  • Account
    • Snowflake account identifiers
    • Find out more here
  • Database
    • Name of the database within Snowflake
    • Example: snowflake_sample_data

​
Authentication Options

  • Private Key (Recommended)
    • You’ll pass in your RSA private key to Explo to use in authenticating with Snowflake. See Snowflake’s documentation for help creating and setting up an unencrypted private key.
  • Password (Deprecated) / PAT
    • Snowflake has deprecated single-factor password authentication and will block it by November 2025. It is highly recommended to setup Private Key or PAT authentication instead.
    • You can also use a Programmatic Access Token (PAT) instead of a password to authenticate with Snowflake. See Snowflake’s documentation

​
Allowlisting Explo’s IPs

You may need to allowlist egress IPs for your Connectivity Region.
