The roles and associated permissions in Snowflake can be customized to fit your company's requirements and fine-tune access to database objects in your account. See [Snowflake permissions](/reference/database-permissions/snowflake-permissions) for more information about customizing roles in Snowflake.

**Note:** A crucial part of working with dbt atop Snowflake is ensuring that users (in development environments) and/or service accounts (in deployment to production environments) have the correct permissions to take actions on Snowflake! Here is documentation of some [example permissions to configure Snowflake access](/reference/database-permissions/snowflake-permissions).

## Authentication methods

This section describes the different authentication methods for connecting dbt Cloud to Snowflake. Configure Deployment environment (Production, Staging, General) credentials globally in the [**Connections**](/docs/deploy/deploy-environments#deployment-connection) area of **Account settings**. Individual users configure their development credentials in the [**Credentials**](/docs/cloud/dbt-cloud-ide/develop-in-the-cloud#get-started-with-the-cloud-ide) area of their user profile.
