Using Contacts in Snowflake: A Strategic Guide to Schema-Level Communication

Snowflake's Contacts feature enables schema-level communication by associating data objects with stewards, support teams, and access approvers. Contacts inherit down object hierarchies and can be overridden at child levels, supporting use cases like data stewardship, access approval workflows, compliance tracking, and multi-tenant governance. The guide covers creating contacts via Snowsight or SQL, associating them with databases, schemas, tables, views, and tasks, and querying contact information for audit and governance purposes.
