Elevate your data protection with Snowflake’s IS_DATABASE_ROLE_IN_SESSION()

Snowflake’s new IS_DATABASE_ROLE_IN_SESSION() function improves data protection by verifying if a specific database role is active in the current session. This function enhances role-based access control (RBAC) by simplifying governance for data shared across accounts. Two governance scenarios are explored: one using centralized policies and another demonstrating secure data sharing between accounts. Key points highlight the function’s behavior in policy contexts and flexible role management.
