What is the definition of securable objects?

• A. Entity that cannot be removed from Snowflake
• B. Entity that cannot be shared from Snowflake
• C. Entity to which access can be granted
• D. Entity that cannot be accessed by roles

Answer: (C)

Securable objects are the entities you can grant privileges to. In Snowflake’s access control model, privileges aren’t given directly to users; they’re granted to roles on these objects. Examples include databases, schemas, tables, views, stages, file formats, and other objects that support permissioning. The key idea is that a securable object is any object where you can define and grant access rights. That’s why this definition fits best: it encapsulates the purpose of securable objects within Snowflake’s security framework. The other descriptions don’t describe what securable objects are in the privilege system.
