**Steps to complete:**

1. [Configure user in Dremio](/integrations/databases/dremio#configure-user-in-dremio)
2. [Create schema for Datafold](/integrations/databases/dremio#create-schema-for-datafold)
3. [Configure your data connection in Datafold](/integrations/databases/dremio#configure-in-datafold)

## Configure user in Dremio

To connect to Dremio, create a user with read-only access to all data sources you wish to diff and generate an access token.

Temporary tables will be created in the `$scratch` schema that doesn't require special permissions.

## Create schema for Datafold

Datafold utilizes a temporary dataset to materialize scratch work and keep data processing in the your warehouse.
