Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 59 discussion

By default, a newly-created role is not assigned to any user, nor granted to any other role. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/security-access-control-overview.html

when a user creates a role, they are not automatically assigned as the owner of that role

In Snowflake, when a user creates a role, they are automatically assigned as the owner of that role

A. "OWNERSHIP is required to execute a CREATE OR ALTER ROLE statement for an existing role. OWNERSHIP is a special privilege on an object that is automatically granted to the role that created the object, but can also be transferred using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command to a different role by the owning role (or any role with the MANAGE GRANTS privilege). " https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/create-role

It is important to make the distinction between Users and Roles, users do not have any privelages including ownership this falls upon the role so rather than the user the ownership will go to the intial role used to create the new role.

yes, the creator maintains ownership until it is explicitly transferred to another role or user.

When a user creates a role, they are initially assigned ownership to ensure that there is a clear and accountable owner who can manage the role’s permissions and responsibilities. This ownership can be transferred to another user or role if needed, providing flexibility in managing access control.

When a user creates a role, they are initially assigned ownership of the role and maintain ownership until it is transferred to another user. This aligns with the DAC model where the owner of an object has the discretion to grant access to other users or roles

The ownership is defaulted to an actual role of the actual user

The role owner has full control

Due to role hierarchy approach in snowflake, roles own other objects, not users. Ownership can be transferred to another role. So B.

answer A

The answer is A. True. In Snowflake, when a user creates a role, they automatically become the owner of that role and retain ownership until it is explicitly transferred to another user. This is an important security concept in Snowflake's access control model: Key points: - The creator of a role becomes its owner by default - Role ownership gives special privileges for managing that role - Only the role owner can grant or revoke role privileges (unless ownership is transferred) - Ownership transfer must be done explicitly using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command - Role ownership is distinct from role membership This is important for the SnowPro Core exam as it relates to Snowflake's security model and role-based access control (RBAC) implementation.

**True.** When a user creates a role in Snowflake, they are automatically assigned as the owner of that role. This ownership includes the ability to grant privileges, revoke privileges, and transfer ownership of the role. The user retains ownership of the role until it is explicitly transferred to another user, typically using the `GRANT OWNERSHIP` command. Ownership transfer is required if someone else needs to fully control or manage that role's permissions.

That’s correct! In Snowflake, when a user creates a role, they are automatically assigned ownership of that role. This ownership includes the ability to grant and revoke privileges on the role, as well as the ability to transfer ownership to another user. The user retains ownership until they explicitly transfer it to someone else.

Correct answer:B ownership cannot be transfered

The answer is False. When a user creates a role, they are initially assigned the CREATE_ROLE privilege on the role. However, they do not automatically become the owner of the role. The ownership of the role is initially set to the SYSADMIN role. To become the owner of the role, the user must use the GRANT OWNERSHIP command. Once the user has become the owner of the role, they can manage the role and grant and revoke privileges on the role to other users. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
