SnowPro Core Certification — Question 360

A developer is granted ownership of a table that has a masking policy. The developer’s role is not able to see the masked data.

Will the developer be able to modify the table to read the masked data?

Answer options

• A. Yes, because a table owner has full control and can unset masking policies.
• B. Yes, because masking policies only apply to cloned tables.
• C. No, because masking policies must always reference specific access roles.
• D. No, because ownership of a table does not include the ability to change masking policies.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because owning a table does not inherently provide the authority to alter masking policies. Options A and B are incorrect as they misinterpret the scope of ownership and the application of masking policies, while option C is inaccurate because it suggests a rigid requirement for access roles that doesn't apply to the ownership context.
