Accessing and installing listings as a consumer¶

Whether you explored listings on the Snowflake Marketplace and found a listing that you want to access or purchase, or a provider shared a private listing with you, this topic guides you through accessing and installing listings as a consumer.

Access a private listing¶

To access a private listing that was shared with you, do the following:

Note

You must use the ACCOUNTADMIN role or another role with the CREATE DATABASE and IMPORT SHARE privileges to access a listing.

  1. Sign in to Snowsight.

  2. Select Data » Private Sharing.

  3. On the Shared with Me page under Private Listings, select the listing you want to access.

  4. Select Get.

Allow providers to share private listings into your VPS¶

Note

This feature is not enabled for all accounts. To request, please contact Snowflake Support.

If you have a Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS) account, you can choose to allow providers with non-VPS accounts to share private listings with you. To do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Contact the provider to collect the following information about the provider account:

    1. Organization name of the provider

    2. Account locator

    For more details about how to locate this information, see Account Identifiers.

  2. Contact Snowflake Support and ask for Cross-Cloud Auto-fulfillment to be enabled so that a specific provider can target accounts within your VPS. Include the following information:

    1. VPS deployment name

    2. VPS accounts that you want to have access to private listings.

    3. Provider organization name

    4. Provider account locator

  3. Identify your organization name and share it with the provider. If you don’t know your organization name, select Admin » Accounts to view the organization name above the account names.

  4. Using your organization name, the provider shares a private listing with your organization account(s) and lets you know.

  5. Locate the private listing and click Get to request it. If the listing is a paid listing or contains applications or connectors, your Organization Administrator must agree to the Snowflake Consumer Terms of Service to gain access to the listing.

  6. After the request is granted, the contents of the listing are auto-fulfilled into the secure share area of your VPS deployment, and you can begin using it.

Providers must follow the steps outlined in Share private listings with consumers using VPS.

How private listing access works for VPS consumers¶

To maintain the security of the VPS, Snowflake creates a secure share area using Cross-Cloud Auto-fulfillment. When you let a provider share private listings with your VPS accounts, Snowflake auto-fulfills those listings into this secure share area.

Providers do not gain direct access to your VPS region. See Support for auto-fulfillment in Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS).

Providers receive usage data and other details described in Monitoring usage of your listing.

Accessing listings on the Snowflake Marketplace¶

After you explore listings on the Snowflake Marketplace, access the listings you’re interested in.
