SnowPro Core Certification — Question 769

What are characteristics of reader accounts in Snowflake? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reader account users cannot add new data to the account.
• B. Reader account users can share data to other reader accounts.
• C. A single reader account can consume data from multiple provider accounts.
• D. Data consumers are responsible for reader account setup and data usage costs.
• E. Reader accounts enable data consumers to access and query data shared by the provider.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answer is A and E because reader account users indeed cannot add new data, and they can access and query data shared by the provider. Options B and C are incorrect as reader accounts cannot share data to other reader accounts, and while a single reader account can access data from multiple providers, that is not a defining characteristic of the accounts themselves. Option D is misleading as the setup and usage costs are typically managed by the provider rather than the consumers.
