Managing Snowflake: Administering a Snowflake Account

Snowflake is a powerful enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS) offering and like all SaaS technologies it is particularly important to administer it correctly from the perspective of both security and access control and of monitoring and attributing resource usage. Otherwise costs and security vulnerabilities can quickly pile up as users roles and accounts increasingly multiply. In this course discover how to manage the accounts and users within an organization. Then explore how Snowflake allows users to configure various properties on objects using parameters. Next use resource monitors to impose limits on the number of credits consumed by Snowflake and examine what happens if that limit is breached. Learn how to configure single sign-on using Otka and implement federated authentication. Finally perform data masking and investigate how Snowflake allows you to redact and censor data at the column level using masking polices.
