Prerequisites

Before using the Web UI, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

1. Install MaxMyCloud Native App on Snowflake
   Follow this to install the MaxMyCloud Native App on your Snowflake account.
2. Create Snowflake User for Web UI Access

Create Role

Execute the following SQL in your Snowflake worksheet to create the required role:

create role maxmycloud_role;
GRANT APPLICATION ROLE app_maxmycloud TO ROLE maxmycloud_role;
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE your_warehouse TO ROLE maxmycloud_role;
GRANT USAGE ON INTEGRATION MAXMYCLOUD_API_INTEGRATION TO maxmycloud_role;

Choose Authentication Method

You can create the user using either:

1. Username & Password – For testing only
2. Key Pair Authentication – Recommended for production

Key Pair Authentication (Recommended)

Step 1: Generate Key Pair

Run these commands locally to generate your private and public key:

openssl genrsa 2048 | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -out rsa_key.p8 -nocrypt

openssl rsa -in rsa_key.p8 -pubout -out rsa_key.pub

Step 2: Create the Snowflake User

CREATE OR REPLACE USER maxmycloud
PASSWORD = ''  -- Ensure No password for key-pair method
LOGIN_NAME = 'maxmycloud'
DISPLAY_NAME = 'maxmycloud'
DEFAULT_WAREHOUSE = 'your_warehouse'
DEFAULT_ROLE = 'maxmycloud_role'
DISABLED = FALSE;

GRANT ROLE maxmycloud_role TO USER maxmycloud;
        

Step 3: Assign the Public Key

Replace the example key below with the contents of your generated rsa_key.pub file:

ALTER USER maxmycloud SET RSA_PUBLIC_KEY='MIIBIjANBgkqh...';

That’s it for Snowflake configuration. Save your key files securely before proceeding.
