Enable VPS collaboration with other organizations

VPS collaboration with private listings must be enabled through Snowflake Support. First, however, your organization must agree to the terms and disclaimers. After that, you can start working with support to setup participation in private listings.

How to sign the terms and disclaimers

Before any Snowflake customer can begin to use any type of listings, their organization administrator must accept some terms and disclaimers – this is required one time for the entire organization. Signing waivers must be done through the Snowflake web app.

  1. Open Billing & Terms. Or, if you are already signed in to Snowsight, open Admin » Billing & Terms.

  2. Switch to the organization administrator (ORGADMIN) role. If you also have non-VPS accounts, switch to the ORGADMIN role for a VPS account.

  3. Review the Accept the Snowflake Provider and Consumer Terms of Service and save a copy for your records.

  4. Click Review & Enable to sign the terms.

  5. Review the cross-region disclaimer and save a copy for your records.

  6. Select Acknowledge & Continue.

See Legal requirements for providers and consumers of listings for more details.

Note

If you see an error, your user profile might be missing some contact information. If you have an administrator role, see Add user details to your user profile to update your profile using Snowsight. Otherwise, contact an account administrator to update your user details.

How to enable VPS collaboration

When ready to publish or obtain a private listing, both the provider and the future consumer of the listing need to contact Snowflake Support to authorize the new connection with a specific organization.

Privileges required

When you create a listing, you create it from the account that has the data or application package in it. The role that attaches a data product to a listing and publishes the listing must be the same role that created, and therefore owns, the application package or share. You cannot transfer the OWNERSHIP privilege for a share.

If you use a different role to create and manage the listing, grant the MODIFY privilege on the listing to the role that owns the application package or share. For example:

Share or application package owner role:

OWNERSHIP privilege on the share or application package. MODIFY privilege on the listing.

Listing owner role:

OWNERSHIP privilege on the listing.

Global CREATE DATA EXCHANGE LISTING privilege.

Within the provider account, you can use one of the following to create and manage listings:

ACCOUNTADMIN:

If you use the ACCOUNTADMIN role to create and manage listings, the ORGADMIN role must first delegate privileges to set up auto-fulfillment.

Custom role:

If you use a custom role, the ORGADMIN role must first delegate privileges to set up auto-fulfillment to the ACCOUNTADMIN role, which can then be used to grant the relevant privileges to the custom role.

For more information about granting sharing privileges, see Granting Privileges to Other Roles.

How to disable VPS collaboration
