# Snowflake

## Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of users, roles, and group permissions across different metadata objects in Snowflake. This helps administrators and source system owners maintain visibility and control over access at every level.

This section describes how Data Access Management works for Snowflake. It outlines how to sync and view warehouses, databases, schemas, tables, columns, views, and objects, review assigned permissions for different user groups, and capture audit logs of all crawled entries.

For more details, refer to the [Data Access Management - DDA](/release8.2/data-access/data-access-management.md).

DAM functionality may vary depending on the capabilities of the source system.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.2/data-access/dam-supported-connectors/snowflake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
