Which statement is true about cloning privileges transfer?

• A. All privileges transfer to the clone
• B. No privileges transfer to the clone
• C. Some privileges transfer to the clone
• D. Privileges transfer only if the source owner grants it

Answer: (B)

Clones are separate objects with their own access control. When you create a clone, Snowflake copies the data and metadata at the moment of cloning, but it does not copy any granted privileges from the source. The clone starts with no privileges assigned, so access must be granted on the clone itself. This separation lets you manage who can use the clone independently of who can access the source. Therefore, privileges do not transfer to the clone by default. If access is needed, you grant the appropriate privileges on the clone (and you can grant with grant options to allow further propagation if desired).
