Prerequisites
Gtmhub can connect to your Snowflake Data Warehouses in Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.
Snowflake user
The connection uses username and password over a secure channel. It is recommended that you create a new user for Gtmhub and limit its read permissions only to data you want to sync with Gtmhub. For more information on creating users in Snowflake check out this article: Snowflake Documentation | Create User. Here is a quick example:
CREATE USER gtmhubsync PASSWORD = '********' DEFAULT_ROLE = "PUBLIC" DEFAULT_WAREHOUSE = "COMPUTE_WH" MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = FALSE;The above SQL statement will create gtmhubsync user with default role and warehouse. Make sure you use strong password for this user. You can generate strong passwords using https://randomkeygen.com/
