Attention

The Account Usage GRANTS_TO_ROLES view in the shared SNOWFLAKE database behaves as follows:

Previously:

The output from a query on the GRANTS_TO_ROLES view does not include the OBJECT_INSTANCE column.

  • The GRANTED_ON column does not support INSTANCE_ROLE as a possible value.
  • The TABLE_CATALOG column does not support the database that stores the instance of a class.
