# Snowflake
> Learn how to dynamically generate Snowflake user credentials.
Infisical's Snowflake dynamic secrets allow you to generate Snowflake user credentials on demand.
## Snowflake Prerequisites
Select the **Governance & Security** tab and click on **Users & roles**.
In the top right, click **Create user**
Create a Snowflake user with the USERADMIN role for Infisical
Infisical requires a Snowflake user in your account with the USERADMIN role.
This user will act as a service account for Infisical and facilitate the
creation of new users as needed.
Programmatic Access Tokens require an attached network policy that defines the IPs allowed to authenticate as this user. Select the **Projects** tab and click on **Workspaces** to open the query editor, then paste the following snippet.
```SQL theme={"dark"}
CREATE NETWORK POLICY PREVIOUSLY_CREATED_USER
ALLOWED_IP_LIST = ('0.0.0.0/0')
COMMENT = 'Allow access from any IP';
ALTER USER INFISICAL set NETWORK_POLICY = 'PREVIOUSLY_CREATED_USER';
```
Be careful with the IPs you allow in your network policy. Using `0.0.0.0/0` allows access from **any IP address**, which can be dangerous in production. Prefer restricting the list to only the IP ranges that should be allowed to authenticate (for example, your corporate NAT(s) and/or Infisical's outbound IPs if you have them).
Select the **Governance & Security** tab and click on **Users & roles**. Then select the user you created in the previous step.
Open the **Programmatic access tokens** tab and click **Generate new token**. Give the token a descriptive name and configure its expiration. Set the role restriction to **USERADMIN**.
Copy the generated token. Snowflake only displays it once, so store it somewhere secure for the next step.
Click on the Account Menu in the bottom left and take note of your Account and Organization identifiers
## Set up Dynamic Secrets with Snowflake
Open the Secret Overview dashboard and select the environment in which you would like to add a dynamic secret.
The name you want to reference this secret by
Default time-to-live for a generated secret (it is possible to modify this value when generating a secret)
Maximum time-to-live for a generated secret
Snowflake account identifier
Snowflake organization identifier
Username of the Infisical service user
Programmatic Access Token (PAT) of the Infisical service user used to authenticate with Snowflake
Specifies a template for generating usernames. This field allows customization of how usernames are automatically created.
Allowed template variables are:
* `{{randomUsername}}`: Random username string.
* `{{unixTimestamp}}`: Current Unix timestamp at the time of lease creation.
* `{{identity.name}}`: Name of the identity that is generating the lease.
* `{{dynamicSecret.name}}`: Name of the associated dynamic secret.
* `{{dynamicSecret.type}}`: Type of the associated dynamic secret.
* `{{random N}}`: Random string of N characters.
Allowed template functions are:
* `truncate`: Truncates a string to a specified length.
* `replace`: Replaces a substring with another value.
* `uppercase`: Converts a string to uppercase.
* `lowercase`: Converts a string to lowercase.
Examples:
```yaml theme={"dark"}
{{ randomUsername }} // 3POnzeFyK9gW2nioK0q2gMjr6CZqsRiX
{{ unixTimestamp }} // 17490641580
{{ identity.name }} //
{{ random 5 }} // x9K2m
{{ truncate identity.name 4 }} // test
{{ replace identity.name '' 'new-value' }} // new-value
```
If you want to provide specific privileges for the generated dynamic credentials, you can modify the SQL
statement to your needs.
After submitting the form, you will see a dynamic secret created in the dashboard.
Once you've successfully configured the dynamic secret, you're ready to generate on-demand credentials.
To do this, simply click on the 'Generate' button which appears when hovering over the dynamic secret item.
Alternatively, you can initiate the creation of a new lease by selecting 'New Lease' from the dynamic secret
lease list section.
When generating these secrets, it's important to specify a Time-to-Live (TTL) duration. This will dictate how
long the credentials are valid for.
Ensure that the TTL for the lease falls within the maximum TTL defined when configuring the dynamic secret in
step 4.
Once you click the `Submit` button, a new secret lease will be generated and the credentials for it will be
shown to you.
## Audit or Revoke Leases
Once you have created one or more leases, you will be able to access them by clicking on the respective dynamic secret item on the dashboard.
This will allow you to see the lease details and delete the lease ahead of its expiration time.
## Renew Leases
To extend the life of the generated dynamic secret lease past its initial time to live, simply click on the **Renew** button as illustrated below.
Lease renewals cannot exceed the maximum TTL set when configuring the dynamic
secret.
