Frequently AskedQuestions
Your top questions about how to get started with Snowflake Organizations.
Get started by following these steps to create an Organization account.
Organization Premium Views incur costs based on the number of records processed to generate them and follow a tiered pricing model. For current rates, refer to the Organization Usage table in the Snowflake Service Consumption Table. To receive an estimate as real costs can be higher or lower, please reach out to your account team.
We are working toward full parity and have migrated 70+ views into Organization_Usage, prioritizing those most used by customers. If a specific view is missing and blocking your transition, please reach out to your account team.
The Organization account requires Enterprise Edition or higher. Contact Snowflake Support about upgrading your edition. Please note that Enterprise Edition or higher is only needed for the Organization account, not other accounts.
Visit our documentation page for detailed information, and reach out to your account team if you have additional questions.
The GLOBALORGADMIN role is available exclusively in the Organization account and serves as the overarching administrative role for your entire organization. It provides access to the full suite of organization-level features — including account management, usage monitoring, cross-account security policies and organization-wide billing — and can perform everything the ORGADMIN role can do today, plus significantly more.
The ORGADMIN role is the older role available in ORGADMIN-enabled accounts. It provides access to a limited set of organization-level features and operates only within the scope of ORGADMIN-enabled accounts. This role will be phased out in the future. You will receive advance notice at least six months before any changes take effect.
