Regions do not limit user access to Snowflake; they only dictate where data is stored and where compute resources are provisioned.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not necessarily
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

Regions determine where data lives and where compute resources run, not who is allowed to access it. User access is controlled by roles and privileges granted on objects (databases, schemas, tables, etc.). So, as long as a user’s role has the necessary privileges on the data in the region they are connected to, their access is governed by those permissions, not by the region itself. If data exists or is shared across regions, the user must have the appropriate privileges in each region to access it, but the region boundary itself does not impose access restrictions.
