Snowflake - Authentication & Authorization

 Authentication  (Identity) : Proven through username & password

Authorization (Access) : Access through RBAC role assignments

Account Admin (See & Do Everything)

                Security Admin (Security administrator can manage security aspects of the account.)

                    User Admin (User administrator can create and manage users and roles)

                Sys Admin (Create DB, Warehouses, Schemas, Views)


           Public

Note: 

  • Other than this, ORG ADMIN is the most powerful
  • Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
  • If you change your system role to another role, when you log out and log back in, your role will revert to the default
