Why is a federated environment used for user authentication in Snowflake?
A federated environment for user authentication in Snowflake is used to separate user authentication from user access. This means that the process of confirming a user's identity (authentication) is distinct from the process of determining what resources and data the user can access (authorization). This separation enhances security by ensuring that user credentials are verified independently of the access controls applied to data.
