Connect Snowflake to Anzenna

This guide walks you through creating a Snowflake service account user with the appropriate permissions and connecting it to Anzenna using key-pair authentication.

Prerequisites

• Snowflake ACCOUNTADMIN access. Creating the user requires SECURITYADMIN, but granting access to the SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE schema (where Anzenna reads login and query history) can only be done by ACCOUNTADMIN.

• Access to the Anzenna platform
• Access to Snowflake SQL Worksheet

Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Get the Public Key from Anzenna

1. In Anzenna, click on Integrations.

2. Click the enroll toggle button in the Snowflake card to begin setup.

3. Copy the public key shown in Anzenna. This will be used to establish the connection with Snowflake.

Part 2: Create the Anzenna User in Snowflake

1. In your Snowflake console, click on SQL Worksheet.

2. Paste the following SQL into the worksheet, replacing <your-public-key> with the key you copied from Anzenna and <your-warehouse> with the name of any warehouse in your account:

create user ANZENNA display_name="Anzenna" timezone='UTC' type=SERVICE default_warehouse="<your-warehouse>" default_role="SECURITYADMIN" rsa_public_key="<your-public-key>"; grant role SECURITYADMIN to user ANZENNA; grant imported privileges on database SNOWFLAKE to role SECURITYADMIN; grant usage on warehouse <your-warehouse> to role SECURITYADMIN;

info

Anzenna runs its queries on a warehouse (Snowflake's compute). Any warehouse in your account works — the data Anzenna reads is the same regardless of which one runs the query, so an X-Small is plenty. Replace both <your-warehouse> placeholders with the same warehouse name. Without a usable warehouse the connection will succeed, but every sync will fail with You must specify the warehouse to use.

warning

The grant imported privileges statement must be run as ACCOUNTADMIN. It gives the SECURITYADMIN role read access to the SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE schema, which only ACCOUNTADMIN can see by default. Without it the connection will succeed, but every Anzenna sync will fail with Schema 'SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE' does not exist or not authorized.

3. Click on More run options.

4. Click Run All. Use "Run All" rather than "Run" to ensure both the CREATE and GRANT statements execute.

Part 3: (Optional) Set a Network Policy

If your organization requires restricting API access by IP, you can set a network policy for the Anzenna service account.

1. Paste the following network policy SQL into the worksheet:

create network policy allow_anzenna_policy ALLOWED_IP_LIST=('35.212.173.22'); alter user ANZENNA set NETWORK_POLICY=allow_anzenna_policy;

2. Click on More run options.

3. Click Run All.

Part 4: Complete the Connection in Anzenna

1. Return to the Anzenna enrollment page and paste your Snowflake account identifier. The format is <orgname>-<accountname>. See the

   Snowflake documentation

   for more details.

2. Type ANZENNA as the username.

3. Click Connect.

4. You should see your Snowflake instance marked as connected.

success

Snowflake is now connected to Anzenna. Anzenna will begin monitoring your Snowflake environment for security insights.
