Explanation

Within a Snowflake account, ACCOUNTADMIN is the highest-level role. It inherits all privileges from both SYSADMIN (which manages databases and warehouses) and SECURITYADMIN (which manages users and roles). ORGADMIN is a special role used for organization-level management across multiple accounts but is not part of the standard account-level role hierarchy. The standard hierarchy from top to bottom is: ACCOUNTADMIN → SECURITYADMIN / SYSADMIN → USERADMIN → PUBLIC.
