📚Domains

Dedicated filtered view of the platform that fits your needs

Overview

Domains act as reusable, global filters that help you focus on the parts of your Snowflake landscape that matter to you — such as a Snowflake account, environment (Dev/Prod), warehouse group, or team.. When a domain is active, all pages show only the assets defined by that domain, and switching domains updates all data instantly.

Common use cases include:

  • Viewing a single Snowflake account (e.g., Internal BI)

  • Switching between Prod / Dev / QA

  • Creating team-specific filtered views

  • Isolating workloads (ETL, BI, etc.)

  • Reducing noise in large multi-account environments

Key Capabilities

Unified Platform Filtering

When selected, a domain filters all relevant assets across:

  • Compute

  • Cost Overview

  • Storage

  • Discovery

  • Insights

  • Monitoring

  • Budgeting

Multiple Domain Views

You can create unlimited domains, such as:

  • Production

  • Development

  • Internal BI

  • Finance Team

  • ETL Only

Team Assignment

Assign a domain to a team so all members share the same filtered view.

How Domains Work

Domains act as high-level filters over your accessible Snowflake assets.

Examples:

  • A domain for Internal BI & ETL shows only the compute/storage for those assets.

  • Selecting Dev instantly applies Dev-only filtering across all pages.

  • Clearing the domain restores full visibility.

  • Domains do not control access — that is managed using Asset Groups.

How to Create a Domain

  1. Open the Domains Page Go to Settings → Domains.

  2. Click “Create Domain” Start a new configuration.

  3. Name & Customize the Domain Provide a clear name and select an icon. This is what appears in the top domain selector.

  4. Add Filters Choose which assets the domain should include:

    • Snowflake accounts

    • Warehouses

    • Databases

    • Users You can select multiple items in each category.

  5. (Optional) Assign the Domain to a Team This gives the team a shared filtered view.

  6. Save the Domain The new domain now appears in the domain selector for quick switching.

How to Select and Use Domains

  1. Open the Domain Selector At the top of any screen, click the dropdown.

  2. Select a Domain Choose the domain you want (e.g., Production, Dev, Internal BI). All pages immediately filter based on this selection.

  3. Navigate the Platform Cost Overview, Compute, Storage, Discovery, Insights, Monitoring, and Budgeting now display only the assets included in the domain.

  4. Switch or Clear the Domain

    • Choose a different domain at any time

    • Clear the domain to see all assets you have access to

Notes & Best Practices

  • Domains filter the environment but do not restrict access

  • Use clear, descriptive names

  • Domains simplify navigation in large or multi-account Snowflake setups
