SnowPro Core Certification — Question 525

What MINIMUM privilege is required on the external stage for any role in the GET REST API to access unstructured data files using a file URL?

Answer options

• A. READ
• B. OWNERSHIP
• C. USAGE
• D. WRITE

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, USAGE, which is required to access the external stage and read the files. READ would allow viewing but does not permit access to the stage itself, OWNERSHIP provides full control over the stage which is unnecessary, and WRITE is not needed for just retrieving files.
