Question

Options

• AThe healthcare company will need to change the institute's Snowflake edition in the accounts
• BBy default, sharing is supported from a Business Critical Snowflake edition to a Standard edition.
• CContact Snowflake and they will execute the share request for the healthcare company.
• DSet the share_restriction parameter on the shared object to false.

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  10% (2)
• D
  81% (17)

Explanation

Snowflake Business Critical edition is designed for regulated industries (e.g., healthcare/HIPAA) and by default enforces a share restriction that prevents sharing data with accounts running lower editions such as Standard. This restriction exists to prevent sensitive data from inadvertently flowing to accounts with fewer security controls. To explicitly allow sharing with a Standard edition account, the data provider must set SHARE_RESTRICTIONS = FALSE on the share object. Option A is incorrect because healthcare companies cannot change another account's edition. Option B is incorrect because sharing to lower editions is restricted by default, not allowed. Option C is incorrect because Snowflake does not execute shares on behalf of customers.
