ROLES view (Account Usage): New columns and new value for ROLE_TYPE column¶
Attention
This behavior change is in the 2023_06 bundle.
For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle History.
The Account Usage ROLES view in the shared SNOWFLAKE database behaves as follows:
- Previously:
The ROLES view does not include the ROLE_ID and ROLE_INSTANCE_ID columns.
Additionally, the ROLE_TYPE column does not support INSTANCE_ROLE as a possible value.
- Currently:
The output from a query on the ROLES view includes the ROLE_ID and ROLE_INSTANCE_ID columns.
