Snowflake Authorization

If you haven't already done so, you will need to set up a Snowflake account before you begin the process described below. For imports, you will need to provide the credentials and role for a user who has access to the data you wish to import. For exports, you will need to provide the credentials and role for a user who has access to the database and schema you wish to export to.
