New Release ADA-C01 Snowflake Certification Questions

According to the Accessing a Data Exchange documentation, a consumer account can request and get data from the Data Exchange using either the ACCOUNTADMIN role or a role with the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges. The ACCOUNTADMIN role is the top-level role that has all privileges on all objects in the account, including the ability to request and get data from the Data Exchange. A role with the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges can also request and get data from the Data Exchange, as these are the minimum privileges required to create a database from a share. The other options are incorrect because:

•A. The SYSADMIN role does not have the privilege to request and get data from the Data Exchange, unless it is also granted the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges. The SYSADMIN role is a pre-defined role that has all privileges on all objects in the account, except for the privileges reserved for the ACCOUNTADMIN role, such as managing users, roles, and shares.

•B. The SECURITYADMIN role does not have the privilege to request and get data from the Data Exchange, unless it is also granted the IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE privileges. The SECURITYADMIN role is a pre-defined role that has the privilege to manage security objects in the account, such as network policies, encryption keys, and security integrations, but not data objects, such as databases, schemas, and tables.

•E. The IMPORT PRIVILEGES and SHARED DATABASE are not valid privileges in Snowflake. The correct privilege names are IMPORT SHARE and CREATE DATABASE, as explained above.

A user with the ORGADMIN role can perform the following tasks1:

•Create one or more accounts in the organization.

•View a list of all regions enabled for the organization.

•View usage information for all accounts in the organization.

Option C is incorrect because creating secure views on application tables is not a function of the ORGADMIN role, but rather a function of the roles that have access to the tables and schemas within the accounts. Option E is incorrect because performing zero-copy cloning on account data is not a function of the ORGADMIN role, but rather a function of the roles that have the CLONE privilege on the objects within the accounts. Option F is incorrect because creating a reader account to share data with another organization is not a function of the ORGADMIN role, but rather a function of the roles that have the CREATE SHARE privilege on the objects within the accounts.
