Learn how to dynamically generate Snowflake user credentials.
Infisical’s Snowflake dynamic secrets allow you to generate Snowflake user credentials on demand.
Snowflake Prerequisites
Infisical requires a Snowflake user in your account with the USERADMIN role. This user will act as a service account for Infisical and facilitate the creation of new users as needed.
Navigate to Snowflake's User Dashboard and press the '+ User' button
Create a Snowflake user with the USERADMIN role for Infisical
Be sure to uncheck “Force user to change password on first time login”
Click on the Account Menu in the bottom left and take note of your Account and Organization identifiers
Set up Dynamic Secrets with Snowflake
Open the Secret Overview Dashboard
Open the Secret Overview dashboard and select the environment in which you would like to add a dynamic secret.
Click on the 'Add Dynamic Secret' button
Select the Snowflake option in the grid list
Provide the required parameters for the Snowflake dynamic secret
The name you want to reference this secret by
Default time-to-live for a generated secret (it is possible to modify this value when generating a secret)
Maximum time-to-live for a generated secret
Snowflake account identifier
Snowflake organization identifier
Username of the Infisical Service User
Password of the Infisical Service User
(Optional) Modify SQL Statements
If you want to provide specific privileges for the generated dynamic credentials, you can modify the SQL statement to your needs.
Click 'Submit'
After submitting the form, you will see a dynamic secret created in the dashboard.
Generate dynamic secrets
Once you’ve successfully configured the dynamic secret, you’re ready to generate on-demand credentials. To do this, simply click on the ‘Generate’ button which appears when hovering over the dynamic secret item. Alternatively, you can initiate the creation of a new lease by selecting ‘New Lease’ from the dynamic secret lease list section.
When generating these secrets, it’s important to specify a Time-to-Live (TTL) duration. This will dictate how long the credentials are valid for.
Ensure that the TTL for the lease fall within the maximum TTL defined when configuring the dynamic secret in step 4.
Once you click the Submit button, a new secret lease will be generated and the credentials for it will be
shown to you.
Audit or Revoke Leases
Once you have created one or more leases, you will be able to access them by clicking on the respective dynamic secret item on the dashboard. This will allow you see the lease details and delete the lease ahead of its expiration time.
Renew Leases
To extend the life of the generated dynamic secret lease past its initial time to live, simply click on the Renew button as illustrated below.
Lease renewals cannot exceed the maximum TTL set when configuring the dynamic secret.
