SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1247

How does the authorization associated with a pre-signed URL work for an unstructured file?

Answer options

• A. Anyone who has the URL can access the referenced file for the life of the token.
• B. Only the user who generates the URL can use the URL to access the referenced file.
• C. Only the users who have roles with sufficient privileges on the URL can access the referenced file.
• D. The role specified in the GET REST API call must have sufficient privileges on the stage to access the referenced file using the URL.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a pre-signed URL allows anyone possessing the URL to access the associated file for the specified duration. Options B and C are incorrect as they restrict access to a limited set of users, which is not the case with pre-signed URLs. Option D is also incorrect because it implies a role-based restriction that does not apply to pre-signed URLs.
