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.

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.
