New Features

We now have an additional stored procedure for onboarding that allows you to use your own service user, role and warehouse. This new stored procedure is helpful in the situations where you must adhere to a specific naming convention and run into issues when using our default service user.

By default, this stored procedure grants access to everything in your Snowflake account, but you can specify a list of databases to limit what the role can access.

The new stored procedure also grants “MANAGE GRANTS” to ALTR’s service user, enabling support for upcoming features related to the automation of grants on securable Snowflake objects.

Updated documentation to follow. In the mean time, reach out to ALTR Support for assistance.

Note

The existing stored procedure is still available to be used with the ALTR-provided service user, role and warehouse.

Resolved Issues

If a column or table no longer existed in Snowflake because an error occurred on the Snowflake side, you were unable to force disconnect it from ALTR. This issue has been fixed and you can now successfully force disconnect columns and tables from ALTR when an error occurs in Snowflake.
