Question 350

A data provider wants to share data with a consumer who does not have a Snowflake account. The provider creates a reader account for the consumer following these steps:

1. Created a user called "CONSUMER"

2. Created a database to hold the share and an extra-small warehouse to query the data

3. Granted the role PUBLIC the following privileges: Usage on the warehouse, database, and schema, and SELECT on all the objects in the share

Based on this configuration what is true of the reader account?

    Correct Answer: B

    When a data provider shares data with a consumer who does not have a Snowflake account by creating a reader account, the compute resources used by the reader account will be billed to the provider account. This is because the reader account does not independently control its own resources but instead relies on the provider's resources for any computational tasks.
