Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-R01 exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 4
[All ARA-R01 Questions]

A new user user_01 is created within Snowflake. The following two commands are executed:

Command 1-> show grants to user user_01;

Command 2 ~> show grants on user user 01;

What inferences can be made about these commands?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The SHOW GRANTS command in Snowflake can be used to list all the access control privileges that have been explicitly granted to roles, users, and shares.The syntax and the output of the command vary depending on the object type and the grantee type specified in the command1. In this question, the two commands have the following meanings:

Command 1: show grants to user user_01; This command lists all the roles granted to the user user_01. The output includes the role name, the grantee name, and the granted by role name for each grant.This command is equivalent to show grants to user current_user if user_01 is the current user1.

Command 2: show grants on user user_01; This command lists all the privileges that have been granted on the user object user_01. The output includes the privilege name, the grantee name, and the granted by role name for each grant.This command shows which role owns the user object user_01, as the owner role has the privilege to modify or drop the user object2.

Therefore, the correct inference is that command 1 defines all the grants which are given to user_01, and command 2 defines which role owns user_01.

From what I studied, Command 1 should show grants, but I’m a bit confused about whether Command 2 is about user ownership or roles.

I feel like Command 2 is definitely about ownership, but I can't recall if it specifies roles or just the user itself.

I think Command 1 is about grants, but I might be mixing it up with a similar question we practiced where we looked at user ownership.

I remember that "show grants to user" typically lists the privileges assigned to a user, but I'm not sure about the second command.

Okay, let me see here. The first command shows the grants given to the user, and the second command shows the grants on the user. I think I know the difference, but I want to double-check my understanding.

I'm just happy I don't have to deal with Snowflake on a daily basis. Sounds like a whole lot of grants and users to keep track of. Option B looks good to me, though.

I see your point, but I still think B is the correct answer because Command 2 should show all the grants given to user_01.
