IS_GRANTED_TO_INVOKER_ROLE¶

Returns TRUE if the role returned by the INVOKER_ROLE function inherits the privileges of the specified role in the argument based on the context in which the function is called.

The INVOKER_ROLE function only identifies and returns the account role of the object executing a SQL statement. Database roles are not supported.

Arguments¶

The name of the role.

  • If using the IS_GRANTED_TO_INVOKER_ROLE function with masking policy or a row access policy, verify that your Snowflake account is Enterprise Edition or higher.

  • Only one role name can be passed as an argument.

  • The following table summarizes the context in which you can call the function and the role hierarchy Snowflake evaluates.
