- Have a <Constant name="dbt" /> Starter, Enterprise, or Enterprise+ account. Available on all [tenant configurations](/docs/cloud/about-cloud/tenancy).
- Ensure your production and development environments are on a [supported dbt version](/docs/dbt-versions/upgrade-dbt-version-in-cloud).
- Use Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, Postgres, or Trino.
-  Create a successful run in the environment where you configure the <Constant name="semantic_layer" />.
   - **Note:** <Constant name="semantic_layer" /> supports querying in Deployment environments; development querying is coming soon.
- Understand [MetricFlow's](/docs/build/about-metricflow) key concepts powering the <Constant name="semantic_layer" />.  
- Note that the <Constant name="semantic_layer" /> doesn't support using [Single sign-on (SSO)](/docs/cloud/manage-access/sso-overview) for [production credentials](/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/service-tokens#permissions-for-service-account-tokens), though SSO is supported for development user accounts.
