Exam COF-C03 Topic 1 Question 950 Discussion

Snowflake network policies are a security feature that allows administrators to control access to Snowflake by specifying allowed and blocked IP address ranges. These policies apply to all editions of Snowflake, making them widely applicable across different Snowflake environments. They are specifically designed to restrict or enable access based on the originating IP addresses of client requests, adding an extra layer of security.
Network policies are not applied to roles but are set at the account or user level. They are not activated usingALTER DATABASESQL commands but are managed throughALTER ACCOUNTorALTER NETWORK POLICYcommands. The management of network policies does not exclusively require theORGADMINrole; instead, they can be managed by users with the necessary privileges on the account.
