The Scenario
You are a database administrator. The security audit is next Monday and the compliance checklist requires a read-only reporting role on each of twenty Neon project branches used by the analytics team. The generated credentials must be documented in a secure tracking spreadsheet before the auditor arrives.
Right now there is no tracking sheet. There is a Google Sheet with project IDs in column A, branch IDs in column B, and role names in column C. The rest is empty.
The bad version of the next four hours:
- Open the Neon dashboard
- Navigate to project one, click into the branch, find the Roles section, create the role
- Copy the auto-generated password before it disappears from the UI
- Paste the password into the sheet
- Realize you forgot to copy it before clicking away on project three
- Go back to project three, reset the password, document the new one
- You finish at 6 PM with two passwords that may have been reset and one that definitely was.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the role specification sheet and calls the Neon API to create each role, capturing the auto-generated credentials automatically.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For each row in my sheet with a project_id in column A, branch_id in column B, and role name in column C, create a new role in Neon and write the generated password into column D.
SheetXAI iterates through all twenty rows, creates each role, and writes the auto-generated password back to column D immediately after creation. No passwords lost to navigation.
What You Get
A complete credential tracking sheet with:
- Column D — auto-generated password for each role, written immediately after creation
- Consistent role naming — the names in column C are used exactly
- Audit-ready layout — each password is tied to the exact project ID and branch ID in the same row
Passwords are written as soon as each role is created, before SheetXAI moves to the next row. No racing against a UI timeout.
Want the connection string for each role in column E? Add it to the prompt.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Role creation sheets often arrive with inconsistencies from different team leads filling in different rows. SheetXAI normalizes and creates in the same prompt.
When role names have spaces or uppercase characters
Different leads used different naming conventions. The Neon API expects lowercase names without spaces.
Normalize the role names in column C to lowercase with underscores. Then create a role in Neon for each row using the project ID in column A and branch ID in column B, and write the generated password into column D.
When some rows already have a password from a previous run
You ran a partial creation last week and some rows already have passwords in column D.
Skip any row where column D already has a value. For the remaining rows, create a Neon role using columns A, B, and C, and write the generated password into column D.
When you need both a read-only and a read-write role per branch
The analytics team needs read-only roles; the reporting app needs read-write roles. Both are in the same sheet but with different role name suffixes.
For rows where the role name in column C ends in '_ro', create a read-only role. For rows where it ends in '_rw', create a read-write role. Write the generated password into column D for all rows.
When the auditor wants a full credential summary alongside the individual rows
The compliance document needs a cover sheet listing every project, branch, role, and credential in a single structured block.
Create a Neon role for each row using columns A, B, and C. Write the generated password into column D. Then write a summary block into a new sheet called 'Audit Summary' listing project ID, branch ID, role name, and password for every row that was created successfully.
The pattern: the sheet is both the provisioning manifest and the credential record. One prompt creates the roles and documents the credentials.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any sheet with Neon project IDs, branch IDs, and role names, then ask it to create the roles. The Neon integration is included in every plan. See also how to add team members to Neon projects in bulk or the Neon in Google Sheets overview.
