-You can log in to the dbt Snowflake Native App using your regular Snowflake login authentication method. During this [Preview](/docs/dbt-versions/product-lifecycles#dbt-cloud), you do not need dbt Cloud credentials (a dbt Cloud seat) to access the application but this is subject to change.

+Log in to the dbt Snowflake Native App using your regular Snowflake login authentication method. The Snowflake user must have a corresponding dbt Cloud user with a _[developer license](/docs/cloud/manage-access/seats-and-users)_. Previously, this wasn't a requirement during the feature [Preview](/docs/dbt-versions/product-lifecycles#dbt-cloud).
+
+If your Snowflake Native App is already configured, you will be prompted to [link credentials](#link-credentials) the next time you access dbt Cloud from the app. This is a one-time process. If you don't have a dbt Cloud account associated with a developer license, you will be denied access to the dbt Cloud environment and will need an admin to assist.

+_Users with IT or read-only licenses will be denied access to dbt Cloud via the Snowflake Native App._
App users are able to access all information that's available to the API service token.

+## Link credentials
+
+During the early stages of the Snowflake Native App preview, users were only required to exist in the Snowflake platform and could access dbt Cloud via the app without having a corresponding user. This is no longer the case, and every Snowflake user must also have dbt Cloud account access with a [developer license](/docs/cloud/manage-access/seats-and-users).
+
+For existing accounts with the Snowflake Native App configured, users will be prompted to authenticate with dbt Cloud the next time they log in. This is a one-time process if they have a user in dbt Cloud. If they don’t have a dbt Cloud user, they will be denied access, and an admin will need to [create one](/docs/cloud/manage-access/invite-users).
