Elementary Community

Hello,

We are completing our initial setup on elementary cloud, and I am seeing this message when viewing a model in our catalog:
```Column information could not be retrieved.

This might happen due to either insufficient permissions or an outdated Elementary dbt package.```
We are using elementary 0.13.1, which is above the requirement, and I granted the permissions in Snowflake according to the setup guide, which states:
```It is recommended to create a read only user for the elementary schema only.```
When I look at the troubleshooting linked under the error message, I see this:
```check that the user you are using to connect to your database has permissions to access the information schema```
However, in Snowflake, you cannot grant privileges directly on information_schema, per this link: <https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Insufficient-privileges-to-operate-on-schema-INFORMATION-SCHEMA-when-trying-to-share-the-INFORMATION-SCHEMA-of-a-manually-created-database|https://community.snowflake.com/s/article/Insufficient-privileges-to-operate-on-schema-I[…]are-the-INFORMATION-SCHEMA-of-a-manually-created-database>

I am a little lost on how to move forward from here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey <@U06H01WP448>,
did you follow <https://docs.elementary-data.com/cloud/integrations/dwh/snowflake#permissions-and-security|this> guide ?

Yes, I did. That's where this quote from my post came from:
```It is recommended to create a read only user for the elementary schema only.```
