A request to share cloud data associated with a first account in a database system with an application is received. Based on the request, second-party application data and third-party data that is accessible by the first account is identified. The second-party application data comprises application data corresponding to a second application provided by a second-party application provider. The third-party data corresponds to a second account maintained by the database system. The second account corresponds to a third-party data provider. The application is enabled to access the cloud data associated with the first account based on the request. The cloud data comprises customer data associated with the first account, second-party application data, and the third-party data.

Enabling applications to access cloud data

Cloud data sharing for applications

Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a streamlined process for performing operations, such as data sharing and data replication, using multiple accounts. A global identity (also referred to as an organization user) may be employed, where the global identity may have access to multiple accounts across the same or different deployments. The global identity may switch between accounts from its login session and perform various tasks in the context of different accounts without undergoing further authentication.

Remote execution using a global identity

Security credentials associated with a first account maintained by a database system are authenticated. Based on authenticating the security credentials, a user interface element is provided to enable sharing of customer data associated with the first account with an application. A request to share customer data with the application is received. Based on the request, third-party data that is accessible by the first account is identified. The third-party data corresponds to a second account maintained by the database system. The second account corresponds to a third-party data provider. The application is enabled to access cloud data associated with the first account based on the request. The cloud data comprises the customer data and the third-party data.
