Explanation

Snowflake's access control framework is built on two complementary models: Discretionary Access Control (DAC), where every securable object has an owner (the role that created it) who can grant or revoke access to other roles, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), where privileges are assigned to roles rather than individual users, and users inherit privileges through role assignments. IAM (Identity Access Management) is a broad cloud-provider concept (e.g., AWS IAM), not a Snowflake-specific security model. MAC (Mandatory Access Control) is used in government/military systems and is not implemented in Snowflake. SAML is an authentication/federation protocol, not an access control model.
