# Snowflake Native Application

## Introduction

**MadConnect** enables secure, in‑warehouse orchestration and activation directly inside your Snowflake account using Snowpark. This guide consolidates the latest setup flow (**v1.55+**) with clear, step‑by‑step instructions and visual placeholders.

> **Audience:** Snowflake administrators and MadConnect users
>
> **Goal:** Install, activate, validate, and (if needed) uninstall the MadConnect Snowflake Native Application using client‑managed resources and minimal required privileges.

**Key characteristics:**<br>

* Installed from [**Snowflake Marketplace**](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZTSZ91TLO38/madtech-madconnect?search=madtech)**.**
* Runs inside your Snowflake environment; **no data extraction or replication.**
* Uses **client‑managed compute** (compute pools, warehouses) and minimal app privileges.

### Prerequisites

**Role Requirement**

* Log in with the **ACCOUNTADMIN** role.
* Ensure no existing warehouse named `MAD_CONNECT_WH` (or `mad_connect_wh`) exists
* Confirm your network policies allow creation of external access integrations as needed by your organization<br>

#### Required privileges at a glance

* **Application**: `BIND SERVICE ENDPOINT`, `EXECUTE TASK` (remain granted)
* **Client‑managed resources**: Compute Pools, Warehouses, Network Rules, External Access Integrations

{% hint style="info" %}
Why **`BIND SERVICE ENDPOINT`** is required: Enables the app to expose its service URL (web UI/API) while all compute remains client‑managed (see Privilege Rationale section).
