Snowflake SOL-C01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 2 Discussion

Posted by Darci on Dec 17, 2025 at 02:07 PM

What is the purpose of a role hierarchy in Snowflake?

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.
