Which role can view account-level Credit and Storage Usage?

• A. ACCOUNTADMIN
• B. A role that has MONITOR USAGE global privilege
• C. SYSADMIN
• D. STORAGEADMIN

Answer: (A)

In Snowflake, who can see usage data is determined by the privileges attached to a role, and the role that can see account-wide metrics is the one with the highest level of access. ACCOUNTADMIN has full visibility across the entire account, so it can view account-level credits and storage usage without needing any extra privileges. This makes it the best choice when you need guaranteed access to aggregated usage data for the whole account.

A role with MONITOR USAGE can view usage information, but granting that privilege does not automatically grant the same level of access as ACCOUNTADMIN. SYSADMIN or STORAGEADMIN are focused on managing objects within the account (like warehouses, databases, or storage) and do not inherently provide comprehensive access to account-wide usage metrics.
