Snowflake Certification Practice Test

Is it possible for an administrator to grant the Drop Role permission within a Snowflake account?

1. True

2. False

3. Only during account creation

4. Only through support ticket

The correct answer is: True

The ability for an administrator to grant the Drop Role permission within a Snowflake account is indeed true. In Snowflake, permissions are managed through a role-based access control system that allows administrators to define what actions can be taken on various objects within the database environment. This includes the ability to grant or revoke permissions related to roles. Specifically, the Drop Role permission allows a user, assuming the appropriate role that has been granted this permission, to drop (remove) a specified role from the Snowflake environment. Since administrators typically hold high-level privileges, they have the capacity to grant this permission to other roles or users, enabling a flexible management of security and access within a Snowflake account. The other options present limitations or conditions that do not apply to the general permission structure in Snowflake. The system is designed to allow for straightforward permission grants without unnecessary restrictions. Therefore, the assertion that an administrator can grant the Drop Role permission is accurate and reflects the role-based access control model that governs Snowflake operations.
