# Snowflake Cloud Account Setup

Satori’s Data Discovery capability enables you to scan your Snowflake organization to discover Snowflake accounts automatically. Perform the following steps to connect Satori to your Snowflake organization.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure that you have the following:

- You have appropriate permissions to manage Snowflake integrations.
- You know the Snowflake Account Identifier and have access credentials.

## Configuring a Snowflake Cloud Account

Perform the following steps to set up and connect Satori to your Snowflake organization:

1. Go to the **Settings / Cloud Accounts** view and click the plus button to add a cloud account.
2. Select the **Snowflake** option.
3. Enter a descriptive name for this integration in the **Name** input field.

Perform the Snowflake-specific inline instructions as they appear in the **Add new cloud Account** view:

**Step 1: Select Data Access Controller** - Select a cloud provider and choose the region of the DAC for the data discovery process.

**Step 2: Enter Snowflake Connection Settings** - Enter the **Account** name and then enter the Snowflake **username** that Satori should use to access your Snowflake account.

**Step 3: Select Environment** - Set the default environment for discovered data stores of this cloud account. The environment type impacts the risk score calculated for data stores.

Click the **Add New Cloud Account** button to **Generate Setup Instructions**.

Follow the displayed instructions in your Snowflake account to complete the setup process. These instructions typically include creating a role, granting metadata access, and establishing a connection from Snowflake to Satori.

## Next Steps

Once the **Snowflake** account is enabled, Satori begins scanning the data store and populating the **Data Inventory** with discovered data categories and audits.
