Data Access

Data Access provides access to your Analytics data through Snowflake (a data warehouse).

You can then use Snowflake to view your Analytics data through a third-party visualization tool such as Tableau. Your data joins other Analytics data in your Snowflake account; you have access to your organization's entire Analytics data, rather than per project. The data is in a raw format, so you can perform advanced SQL queries, that aren't possible with Unity Analytics, through Snowflake's Secure Data Sharing feature.

Unity supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP) EU-WEST4 and US-CENTRAL1 regions. To use Data Sharing, you need:

  • A Snowflake account you created, independent of Unity
  • A Snowflake sharing key (account locator)
  • The cloud provider and region of your Snowflake account (must be either GCP EU-WEST4 or GCP US-CENTRAL1)

Due to data replication, it might take up to 1 hour and 30 minutes for event data to be available in GCP US-CENTRAL-1.

Note that only organization owners can access the Data Access settings in the Unity Cloud Dashboard.
