SnowPro Core Certification — Question 563

A user wants to add additional privileges to the system-defined roles for their virtual warehouse.

How does Snowflake recommend they accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Grant the additional privileges to a custom role.
• B. Grant the additional privileges to the ACCOUNTADMIN role.
• C. Grant the additional privileges to the SYSADMIN role.
• D. Grant the additional privileges to the ORGADMIN role.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Snowflake recommends assigning additional privileges to a custom role to maintain the integrity of the system-defined roles. Granting privileges to roles like ACCOUNTADMIN, SYSADMIN, or ORGADMIN is not advisable as it may lead to privilege escalation or management complexity.
