Actual exam question for Snowflake's SOL-C01 exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 3

[All SOL-C01 Questions]

What is the purpose of a role hierarchy in Snowflake?

ATo define the sequence of SQL queries

BTo organize roles and grant inherited privileges

CTo manage network settings

DTo store raw data

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Role hierarchy in Snowflake allows one role to inherit the privileges of another. By granting roles to other roles, Snowflake enables scalable, maintainable access control. Higher-level roles grant privileges downward, allowing administrators to create layered access structures. This hierarchy simplifies permission management across teams and environments. It has no relation to SQL sequencing, network settings, or data storage.
