COF-C03 - Account Management and Data Governance - Section 2.1

Explain role-based access control including system-defined roles, custom roles, the role hierarchy, securable objects, and privilege grants.

Explain how Snowflake controls access through roles rather than users: the system-defined roles (ORGADMIN, ACCOUNTADMIN, SECURITYADMIN, USERADMIN, SYSADMIN, PUBLIC), how custom roles are granted to other roles to build a hierarchy, and how privileges on securable objects are granted to roles. Recognise ownership and the principle of least privilege.
