Installation instructions

Installation instructions

 
These instructions apply for both VEIL.AI Snowflake Native Applications:
  • VEIL.AI Anonymization Engine (Free Trial)
 
This guide uses the VEIL.AI Anonymization Engine (Free Trial) as an example.
 
This guide assumes that:
  • The application has been shared privately with your Snowflake account.
  • You have the required permissions to install Snowflake Native Applications.
 

Step 1: Go to “Private Sharing” under “Data Products”

Once the application has been privately shared with your Snowflake Account, you can find it on the “Private Sharing” page under the “Data Products”.

Step 2: Press the “Get” button

Press the “Get” button to start the installation process.

Step 3: Define application name and the warehouse

 
After clicking the “Get” button, you are asked to define:
  • the application name
  • the warehouse used by the installation process
 
You can keep the default application name or change it as needed. This name, in uppercase, will be used for the database name in your Snowflake account. These instructions assume that you will use the default name.
 
Press the “Get” button again to continue the installation process.

Step 7: Grant application role to database role

 
To allow Snowflake users to use the application, application roles must be granted to database roles.
This application has two application roles:
  • USER
  • ADMIN
The ADMIN role includes all permissions of the USER role, plus additional privileges for managing the application. Typically, only the USER permissions should be granted.
 
When using the default application name, the grant statements look as follows:
