Snowflake ARA-R01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 3

An Architect with the ORGADMIN role wants to change a Snowflake account from an Enterprise edition to a Business Critical edition.

How should this be accomplished?

ARun an ALTER ACCOUNT command and create a tag of EDITION and set the tag to Business Critical.

BUse the account's ACCOUNTADMIN role to change the edition.

CFailover to a new account in the same region and specify the new account's edition upon creation.

DContact Snowflake Support and request that the account's edition be changed.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To change the edition of a Snowflake account, an organization administrator (ORGADMIN) cannot directly alter the account settings through SQL commands or the Snowflake interface. The proper procedure is to contact Snowflake Support to request an edition change for the account. This ensures that the change is managed correctly and aligns with Snowflake's operational protocols.

ALTER ACCOUNT won't change the edition, that's not how it works.

I definitely remember that failover option being discussed, but it seems more complicated than just changing the edition directly.

I feel like the ALTER ACCOUNT command was mentioned in our study materials, but I can't recall if it applies to changing editions.

I think I practiced a question similar to this where we had to contact support for account changes. Could it be option D?

I remember something about using the ACCOUNTADMIN role, but I'm not sure if that's the only way to change the edition.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Is there a way to do this without contacting Snowflake Support? That seems like it might be the most complex or time-consuming approach.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is B. The ACCOUNTADMIN role should have the ability to change the account edition, and that's the most straightforward approach.

Okay, let's see here. I think the key is figuring out which role has the necessary permissions to change the account edition. The ORGADMIN role is mentioned, so that's a good clue.

I'd recommend carefully reviewing the Snowflake documentation on account management and edition changes. That should help me understand the best way to approach this type of task in the exam.
