When are personal warehouse credentials used?
Personal warehouse credentials are only used for projects that require user
credentials. If a project doesn’t require user credentials, it will use the
shared project connection instead.
- A project is configured to require user credentials for data access
- You’re running queries, creating charts, or building dashboards in that project
- You’re using the SQL runner or exploring data in projects with user credential requirements
