Snowflake's access control framework utilizes a combination of Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and Role-based Access Control (RBAC). DAC in Snowflake allows the object owner to grant access privileges to other roles. RBAC involves assigning roles to users and then granting privileges to those roles. Through roles, Snowflake manages which users have access to specific objects and what actions they can perform, which is central to security and governance in the Snowflake environment.
