Snowflake Connection Sharing in Power BI Service

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I have created some reports for a customer in Power BI Desktop by importing views from Customer's development Snowflake database. We manage the database, and the customer does not initially have access to its details. We have now shared the necessary database details with them for connecting to the Snowflake DB, including the server name, warehouse name, username, and password.

 

The customer requested the PBIX file from us, and I plan to share it with them using a method like SharePoint. After developing the reports, I published them to the Power BI Service and set up a cloud Snowflake connection in the service, pointing to the semantic model for data refresh.

 

My question is: after the customer connects to Snowflake and publishes their report to the Power BI Service, will they need to create a new Snowflake connection in the Power BI Service, or can they use the connection I set up? We are operating under different organizations.

 

Thank you for your help!

  • Where is the snowflake database located? In their organization or yours?  Can they see the database directly?
