Work with a clean room managed account¶
The provider of a clean room must have a Snowflake account. However, a provider can collaborate with consumers who do not have a Snowflake account by inviting them to sign up for a clean room managed account.
This topic describes the tasks that providers and consumers perform as they work with managed accounts. For general information about managed accounts, see Collaborators who are not Snowflake Service customers.
Provider tasks¶
Working with managed accounts as a provider consists of the following tasks:
Invite a consumer to collaborate using a managed account¶
When a provider wants to use a clean room to collaborate with a consumer who does not have a Snowflake account, they can invite them to collaborate using a managed account. To send a consumer an invitation for a managed account:
Access the URL that corresponds to the region where your Snowflake account is located:
Region
Sign up page
AWS US West (Oregon)
AWS US East (Ohio)
AWS US East (N. Virginia)
Azure West US 2 (Washington)
Azure Central US (Iowa)
Azure South Central US (Texas)
Azure East US 2 (Virginia)
AWS Canada (Central)
Azure Canada Central (Toronto)
AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
Azure Central India (Pune)
AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore)
Azure Southeast Asia (Singapore)
AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney)
Azure Australia East (New South Wales)
Enter your email address, and select Continue.
Enter your password.
If you are associated with multiple clean room environments, select the Snowflake account you want to use.
In the left navigation, select Collaborators.
Select Managed Accounts » + Managed Account.
In the Company Name field, enter the name of the consumer you are inviting to use the managed account.
In the Account Admin Email, enter the email of the consumer’s administrator. The invitation to use the managed account is sent to this email.
Select Invite.
An email is sent to the consumer inviting them to use the managed account to access a clean room environment.
Consumer tasks¶
Working with managed accounts as a consumer consists of the following tasks:
Get started with the managed account¶
When a provider invites a consumer to collaborate using a managed account, the consumer administrator receives an email that lets them sign up for the clean room environment. The provider cannot share a clean room with the consumer until the administrator uses the link in the email to complete the sign up process.
Because the consumer pays for their use of the managed account, the first person to sign in to the clean room environment is prompted to enter billing information. If you want to change this billing information after the initial sign in, contact accounts.receivable@snowflake.com.
Access your data in a clean room¶
As you collaborate in a clean room you can join your data with the provider’s data to gain valuable insights. Clean room connectors let you access your data from within the clean room environment.
Note
A managed account must be located in the same cloud platform as your data. To find the region of the managed account, sign in to the clean room environment, and select Connectors » Cleanrooms » Snowflake.
To use a connector so your analysts can access your data in a clean room, follow the steps in one of the following topics:
Snowflake Data Clean Room: Accessing external data from an Amazon S3 bucket
Snowflake Data Clean Room: Accessing external data from Azure Blob Storage
Snowflake Data Clean Room: Accessing external data from Google Cloud Platform
These topics also include information about revoking access to your data, which you can do at any time.
Join a clean room¶
After a provider creates and shares a clean room with you, you can sign in to the clean room environment and join the clean room to start running analyses. To join a clean room:
Access the URL that corresponds to the region where your Snowflake account is located:
