Explanation
Only the ACCOUNTADMIN role can create resource monitors in Snowflake. Resource monitors are used to control and monitor virtual warehouse credit consumption within an account, sending alerts or suspending warehouses when credit thresholds are reached. While SYSADMIN can be granted control over specific resource monitors after they are created, the creation itself is restricted to ACCOUNTADMIN. This restriction exists because resource monitors affect cost governance at the account level.
