The consumer account locator or account identifier was entered incorrectly (typo or wrong region suffix). The consumer account is in a different Snowflake region or cloud provider that does not support cross-region sharing without replication. The consumer account has been suspended or deleted. The consumer is using an account name instead of the account locator

Step 1: Ask the consumer to run SELECT CURRENT_ACCOUNT() in their Snowflake account to get the exact account locator.. Step 2: Verify the region of both provider and consumer accounts — cross-region sharing requires Snowflake data replication.. Step 3: Use SHOW SHARES to confirm the share exists, then GRANT USAGE ON SHARE to the correct consumer account.. Step 4: If cross-region sharing is needed, set up a secondary database using CREATE DATABASE ... AS REPLICA OF.. Step 5: Contact Snowflake support if the consumer account appears valid but cannot be found.

Medium severityconfiguration

Power BI Refresh Error:
002003

What does this error mean?

A Snowflake data share could not be granted to a consumer because the consumer account identifier does not match any known Snowflake account.

Common causes

1The consumer account locator or account identifier was entered incorrectly (typo or wrong region suffix)
2The consumer account is in a different Snowflake region or cloud provider that does not support cross-region sharing without replication
3The consumer account has been suspended or deleted
4The consumer is using an account name instead of the account locator

How to fix it

1Step 1: Ask the consumer to run SELECT CURRENT_ACCOUNT() in their Snowflake account to get the exact account locator.
2Step 2: Verify the region of both provider and consumer accounts — cross-region sharing requires Snowflake data replication.
3Step 3: Use SHOW SHARES to confirm the share exists, then GRANT USAGE ON SHARE to the correct consumer account.
4Step 4: If cross-region sharing is needed, set up a secondary database using CREATE DATABASE ... AS REPLICA OF.
5Step 5: Contact Snowflake support if the consumer account appears valid but cannot be found.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the correct account locator for a Snowflake consumer?

The consumer runs SELECT CURRENT_ACCOUNT() or checks their Snowflake URL — the account locator is the subdomain before .snowflakecomputing.com.

Can I share data with a consumer in a different cloud region?

Not directly — Snowflake data sharing only works within the same region and cloud. For cross-region sharing, use Snowflake replication to create a secondary database in the consumer's region.
