Snowflake SnowPro Certification Practice Test

Which user types can see the account button in Snowflake?

1. All users

2. ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN

3. Only ACCOUNTADMIN

4. Only users with billing permissions

The correct answer is: ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN

The ACCOUNT button in Snowflake is specifically available to user types that have the necessary administrative privileges, namely ACCOUNTADMIN and SECURITYADMIN. The ACCOUNTADMIN role has full control over the Snowflake account, including access to all features, settings, and management functions. This means they can perform tasks that involve account-wide settings, such as managing user roles, creating warehouses, and altering the overall account configuration. The SECURITYADMIN role, while not as broadly powerful as ACCOUNTADMIN, has specific permissions related to security management. This includes managing users, roles, and the overall security of the account. Consequently, this role also has visibility of the ACCOUNT button, which allows them to access account-related configurations and settings that pertain to user and security management. The other user types do not possess the required administrative rights to see or access the ACCOUNT button. It is essential to recognize the permissions tied to each role within Snowflake to understand why only these two specific admin roles can view the button. These restrictions help maintain security and control within the Snowflake environment, ensuring that users only access features and settings relevant to their responsibilities.
