Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam - Topic 2 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam

Question #: 45
Topic #: 2

The data share exists between a data provider account and a data consumer account. Five tables from the provider account are being shared with the consumer account. The consumer role has been granted the imported privileges privilege.

What will happen to the consumer account if a new table (table_6) is added to the provider schema?

AThe consumer role will automatically see the new table and no additional grants are needed.

BThe consumer role will see the table only after this grant is given on the consumer side:
grant imported privileges on database PSHARE_EDW_4TEST_DB to DEV_ROLE;

CThe consumer role will see the table only after this grant is given on the provider side:
use role accountadmin;
Grant select on table EDW.ACCOUNTING.Table_6 to share PSHARE_EDW_4TEST;

DThe consumer role will see the table only after this grant is given on the provider side:
use role accountadmin;
grant usage on database EDW to share PSHARE_EDW_4TEST ;
grant usage on schema EDW.ACCOUNTING to share PSHARE_EDW_4TEST ;
Grant select on table EDW.ACCOUNTING.Table_6 to database PSHARE_EDW_4TEST_DB ;

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When a new table (table_6) is added to a schema in the provider's account that is part of a data share, the consumer will not automatically see the new table. The consumer will only be able to access the new table once the appropriate privileges are granted by the provider. The correct process, as outlined in option D, involves using the provider's ACCOUNTADMIN role to grant USAGE privileges on the database and schema, followed by SELECT privileges on the new table, specifically to the share that includes the consumer's database. This ensures that the consumer account can access the new table under the established data sharing setup. Reference:

I feel like the provider needs to grant permissions for the new table, but I can't recall if it's just for the table or the whole schema.

I think I practiced a similar question where the consumer needed specific grants to see new tables. It might be option B?

I remember something about how new tables in shared schemas work, but I'm not sure if they automatically appear for the consumer.
