Which of the following is NOT a global privilege object type?

• A. CREATE ACCOUNT
• B. CREATE SHARE
• C. CREATE WAREHOUSE
• D. MONITOR USAGE

Answer: (C)

Global privileges are account-scoped capabilities, usable without tying to a specific Snowflake object. They include actions like provisioning a new account, creating a data share, or monitoring usage across the entire account. These privileges apply broadly and aren’t consumed by a single resource.

Creating a virtual warehouse, however, is a resource-level operation tied to the warehouse itself. It’s treated as an object-level privilege on the WAREHOUSE type rather than a global, account-wide capability. That’s why it isn’t considered a global privilege object type.
