Topic #: 1
An administrator has configured the 'CORTEX MODELS ALLOWLIST' parameter to only permit the 'mistral-large? model at the account level. A user with the 'PUBLIC' role, which has been granted 'SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX USER and 'SNOWFLAKE."CORTEX- MODEL-ROLE-LLAMA3.1-70B"' , attempts to execute several 'AI_COMPLETE queries. Which of the following queries will successfully execute?
Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer
Option A is correct. The query directly references 'MISTRAL-LARGE2', which is explicitly in the account-level 'CORTEX MODELS_ALLOWLIST, so it will succeed. Option B is correct. Snowflake first treats the model name as an identifier for a schema-level model object. The user's role has 'SNOWFLAKE."CORTEX-MODEL-ROLE-LLAMA3.1-70B"' granted, which provides access to the 'LLAMA3.1- 70B' model object in 'SNOWFLAKE.MODELS, regardless of the setting for plain model names. option C is incorrect because 'llama3.1-70b' as a plain model name is not in the 'CORTEX_MODELS_ALLOWLIST. Although the user has access to the model object, a plain string like 'llama3.1-70b' will be looked up in the allowlist after failing to match a model object by that plain name, and the allowlist only has 'MISTRAL-LARGE2'. Option D is incorrect. 'snowflake-arctic' is neither in the 'CORTEX MODELS ALLOWLIST nor does the user have a specific application role granting access to a 'snowflake-arctic' model object. Option E is incorrect because "ALTER ACCOUNT operations can only be performed by the 'ACCOUNTADMIN' role, not typically by a 'PUBLIC' user role, regardless of other grants.
