Exam ADA-C02 Topic 1 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ADA-C02 exam
Question #: 46
Topic #: 1
A Snowflake account is configured with SCIM provisioning for user accounts and has bi-directional synchronization for user identities. An Administrator with access to SECURITYADMIN uses the Snowflake UI to create a user by issuing the following commands:
use role USERADMIN;
create or replace role DEVELOPER_ROLE;
create user PTORRES PASSWORD = 'hello world!' MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = FALSE
default_role = DEVELOPER_ROLE;
The new user named PTORRES successfully logs in, but sees a default role of PUBLIC in the web UI. When attempted, the following command fails:
use DEVELOPER_ROLE;
Why does this command fail?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Creating a user in Snowflake does not automatically grant them roles beyond PUBLIC. To use DEVELOPER_ROLE, the USERADMIN (or another role with MANAGE GRANTS privilege) must explicitly grant DEVELOPER_ROLE to PTORRES. Without this grant, the user cannot assume the role.
