Remarks

The default roles in Snowflake are: PUBLIC, SYSADMIN, or ACCOUNTADMIN.

• PUBLIC: Basic read-only access for most users.
• SYSADMIN: High-level access for managing databases, schemas, and objects.
• ACCOUNTADMIN: Full administrative privileges, including user and account management.

If this value is not set, Snowflake uses the default logged-in user's role. A custom role may also be specified.
