# Fivetran

Since SnowDDL v0.27, it is possible to natively configure database, user and permissions for Fivetran.

## How to configure Fivetran with SnowDDL?

#### 1) Create custom permission model

Configuration guide for [PERMISSION MODEL](/basic/yaml-configs/permission-model.md)

```yaml
fivetran:
  ruleset: DATABASE_OWNER

  owner_create_grants:
    - STAGE
    - TABLE
    - VIEW

  owner_future_grants:
    STAGE: [OWNERSHIP]
    TABLE: [OWNERSHIP]
    VIEW: [OWNERSHIP]

  read_future_grants:
    STAGE: [READ]
    TABLE: [SELECT, REFERENCES]
    VIEW: [SELECT, REFERENCES]

```

#### 2) Create database

Configuration guide for [DATABASE](/basic/yaml-configs/database.md)

```
is_sandbox: true
permission_model: fivetran
```

#### 3) Create business role

Configuration guide for [BUSINESS ROLE](/basic/yaml-configs/business-role.md)

```
fivetran_owner:
  database_owner:
    - fivetran_db
```

#### 4) Create user

```
ext_fivetran:
  rsa_public_key: ...
  business_roles:
    - fivetran_owner
```

## How to grant access to objects created by Fivetran?

You may grant read access on all objects inside Fivetran database by using `database_read` parameter for [BUSINESS ROLE](/basic/yaml-configs/business-role.md).

For example:

```
fivetran_reader:
  database_read:
    - fivetran_db
```

If you want to provide granular on per-schema basis, it requires a bit more work.

1. Explicitly configure schema(s) in Fivetran database by creating corresponding sub-directories with `params.yaml` files inside.
2. Use parameter `schema_read` for [BUSINESS ROLE](/basic/yaml-configs/business-role.md).

For example:

```
fivetran_specific_reader:
  schema_read:
    - fivetran_db.braintree
    - fivetran_db.paypal
```

SnowDDL can only create "schema roles" for schemas which are explicitly defined in config.
