ARA-C01 Exam Dumps : SnowPro Advanced: Architect Certification Exam

This question evaluates deep understanding of Snowflake RBAC, managed access schemas, and privilege inheritance, all of which are core SnowPro Architect topics. The schema DEV_TEST_DB.SCHTEST is created WITH MANAGED ACCESS, meaning that only the schema owner (or a higher role in the hierarchy) can grant object privileges such as SELECT on tables within the schema.

The table CURRENCY is created by the role DEV_PROJ_OWN, making it the table owner. As the owner, DEV_PROJ_OWN implicitly has full privileges on the table, including SELECT. Therefore, option B succeeds because the role selecting the data owns the table.

In option A, DEV_PROJ_OWN explicitly grants SELECT on the table to ANALYST_PROJ. Since this grant is performed by the schema/table owner and the role ANALYST_PROJ already has USAGE on both the database and schema, the subsequent SELECT succeeds. This makes A valid.

Option C fails because SYSADMIN does not inherit privileges from DEV_SYSADMIN or DEV_PROJ_OWN; Snowflake role inheritance is directional and not lateral. Option D fails for the same reason—MAPPING_ROLE has no privileges on the database or schema. Option E fails because ACCOUNTADMIN does not automatically bypass RBAC; without explicit USAGE and SELECT, access is denied.

The correct way to securely share data with a vendor using a Snowflake account on a different cloud platform and region is to create a share, add objects to the share, and add a consumer account to the share for the vendor to access. This way, the company can control what data is shared, who can access it, and how long the share is valid. The vendor can then query the shared data without copying or moving it to their own account. The other options are either incorrect or inefficient, as they involve creating unnecessary reader accounts, users, roles, or database replication.

 According to the Snowflake documentation, when loading data into a table that captures the load time in a column with a default value of either CURRENT_TIME () or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), the default value is evaluated once per COPY statement, not once per row. Therefore, all rows loaded using a specific COPY statement will have the same timestamp value. This behavior ensures that the timestamp value reflects the time when the data was loaded into the table, not when the data was read from the source or created in the source. References:
