Use Workbench in Snowflake

Private Preview | Workbench | Advanced

Workbench is available in the Posit Team Native Application. To initially setup Workbench please follow the setup guide.

Using application backups

You can launch Posit Workbench within the Posit Team Native Application using a previously created backup. Backups from the Workbench Native Application or from another Posit Team Native Application are supported.

Using backups from the Workbench Native Application

The Posit Team Native Application needs to be granted the WORKBENCH_ADMIN application role in order to enumerate and access the backups associated with your Workbench Native Application.

Assuming that your Workbench Native Application is named POSIT_WORKBENCH and your Posit Team native application is named POSIT_TEAM, run the following Snowflake SQL to grant access:

GRANT APPLICATION ROLE POSIT_WORKBENCH.WORKBENCH_ADMIN TO APPLICATION POSIT_TEAM;

After running this code, you can ask that backups from POSIT_WORKBENCH be used when launching Workbench in the Posit Team Native Application named POSIT_TEAM.

Using backups from another Posit Team Native Application

The target Posit Team Native Application needs to be granted the POSIT_TEAM_ADMIN application role in order to enumerate and access the backups associated with your source Posit Team Native Application.

Assuming that your source Posit Team Native Application is named POSIT_TEAM_SOURCE and your target Posit Team native application is named POSIT_TEAM_TARGET, run the following Snowflake SQL to grant access:

GRANT APPLICATION ROLE POSIT_TEAM_SOURCE.POSIT_TEAM_ADMIN TO APPLICATION POSIT_TEAM_TARGET;

After running this code, you can ask that backups from POSIT_TEAM_SOURCE be used when launching Workbench in the Posit Team Native Application named POSIT_TEAM_TARGET.
