> Connecting Fabi.ai to your [Snowflake](https://www.snowflake.com/) instance.

<Warning>

# Creating a service account user

Creating a service user account in Snowflake involves setting up a user with programmatic access for tasks like automation, integration, or API-based operations.

## 1. Log in to Snowflake

* Access your Snowflake account through the [Snowflake Web Interface](https://app.snowflake.com/).
* Use your administrator credentials.

## 2. Navigate to the Admin Section

Go to the **Admin** tab or click on **Account Settings** from the top-right profile menu.

## 3. Create the Service User

Use the following SQL command to create a new service user account:

```sql theme={null}
CREATE USER service_user_name
PASSWORD = 'YourStrongPassword'
DEFAULT_ROLE = service_role
DEFAULT_WAREHOUSE = service_warehouse
MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = FALSE;
```

Replace:

* service\_user\_name with a descriptive username (e.g., api\_service\_user).
* service\_role with the default role you want to assign (e.g., read\_only\_role).
* service\_warehouse with the default warehouse for the user.

# Connecting Snowflake to Fabi.ai

Once you've generated your service user credentials, follow the steps in [Connecting to Your Data](/getting_started/connect_data_sources)
