Snowflake SnowPro Certification Practice Test

What permissions do users have regarding an object created by a specific role?

1. Only the creator has access

2. All users with the same role and those related to it have access

3. Only admin users can access the object

4. Access is restricted to the creator's department only

The correct answer is: All users with the same role and those related to it have access

When an object is created in Snowflake using a specific role, that role determines the permissions related to the object. Users who have been granted the same role or roles that are hierarchically related (such as roles that inherit permissions from the original role) will have access to the object. This design allows for a flexible and collaborative environment where multiple users can share and work with the same data without needing to create separate copies or unnecessarily restrict access. The permission model in Snowflake allows for efficient management of access rights, enabling easier data sharing among users performing similar functions or working on related projects.
