Developer Basics
Access Snowflake with your Blackboard Login Credentials
Select Launch Snowflake.
If you are attempting to log in for the first time, your Snowflake access will be configured automatically. Wait for the process to be successfully completed.
Important
If your Snowflake access configuration fails, repeat the process from step 1.
Once your Snowflake account is successfully configured you will be redirected to Snowflake in a new tab in your browser.
In Snowflake, you need to select Sing in using SSO, and you will be redirected to the authentication page.
Log in using your Blackboard login credentials on the authentication page.
Select Sign In.
Restrict access to Snowflake and Settings
New Blackboard Illuminate users have access to Reporting, Developer, and Settings by default. Users with access to Settings can manage service account credentials that are used in machine-to-machine connections, for example, PowerBI.
You can restrict access to Developer and Settings to specific roles or individuals, while allowing them to access Reporting, if your institution uses Blackboard Login for authentication.
Assign a different system role in Blackboard LMS for users of Developer and Reporting. Each user who requires access needs to have the relevant system role assigned in Blackboard LMS:
Developer (access to Snowflake, Settings, and Reporting): select System Administrator
Reporting (only): select another role. We recommend you create a new role.
Check that these users are part of the correct login group that provides access to Blackboard Illuminate via Blackboard Login.
Log a support ticket requesting Blackboard Illuminate user group mapping and provide the details of your chosen system roles.
Important
If your institution doesn't use Blackboard Login, you'll need to change your authentication method for Blackboard Illuminate to leverage access restrictions.
Changing your authentication method for Blackboard Illuminate does not affect your authentication method for Blackboard LMS. Once this has been completed, follow the steps above to restrict access to Developer and Settings.
If you login to Blackboard Illuminate using the Sign in with your institutional account option, your institution uses Blackboard Login.
If you login to Blackboard Illuminate using the Sign in with your Blackboard Illuminate account option, your institution doesn't use Blackboard Login.
