August 29, 2024 — Snowflake Data Clean Rooms Release Notes¶
With this release, we are pleased to announce the availability of the following new features and enhancements in this update to Snowflake Data Clean Rooms.
RSA authentication for the service account user¶
The service account user that the web app uses to interact with the Snowflake account now authenticates using Snowflake’s key-pair authentication instead of username/password authentication, which provides a more secure method of authentication.
If the Snowflake account uses authentication policies to control which methods of authentication can be used to access the account, an administrator must ensure that these authentication policies allow the service account user to authenticate with key-pair authentication. For more information, see Allow key-pair authentication.
Activation for provider-run analyses¶
Providers can now push the results of a provider-run analysis to their own Snowflake account, where it can be used for activation. A consumer who has shared data in the clean room can control whether the provider can push the results of the provider-run analysis.
For more information, see Run an analysis as a provider.
