Free Snowflake ARA-C01 Exam Actual Questions

Note: Premium Questions for ARA-C01 were last updated On Mar. 03, 2026 (see below)

Question #1

The following DDL command was used to create a task based on a stream:

Assuming MY_WH is set to auto_suspend -- 60 and used exclusively for this task, which statement is true?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B

The warehouse MY_WH will only be active when there are results in the stream. This is because the task is created based on a stream, which means that the task will only be executed when there are new data in the stream. Additionally, the warehouse is set to auto_suspend - 60, which means that the warehouse will automatically suspend after 60 seconds of inactivity. Therefore, the warehouse will only be active when there are results in the stream.Reference:

[CREATE TASK | Snowflake Documentation]

[Using Streams and Tasks | Snowflake Documentation]

[CREATE WAREHOUSE | Snowflake Documentation]


Question #2

Which organization-related tasks can be performed by the ORGADMIN role? (Select three.)

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C, B, F

According to the SnowPro Advanced: Architect documents and learning resources, the organization-related tasks that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role are:

Creating an account in the organization.A user with the ORGADMIN role can use the CREATE ACCOUNT command to create a new account that belongs to the same organization as the current account1.

Viewing a list of organization accounts.A user with the ORGADMIN role can use the SHOW ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS command to view the names and properties of all accounts in the organization2.Alternatively, the user can use the Admin Accounts page in the web interface to view the organization name and account names3.

Enabling the replication of a database. A user with the ORGADMIN role can use the SYSTEM$GLOBAL_ACCOUNT_SET_PARAMETER function to enable database replication for an account in the organization.This allows the user to replicate databases across accounts in different regions and cloud platforms for data availability and durability4.

The other options are incorrect because they are not organization-related tasks that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role. Option A is incorrect because changing the name of the organization is not a task that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role.To change the name of an organization, the user must contact Snowflake Support3. Option D is incorrect because changing the name of an account is not a task that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role.To change the name of an account, the user must contact Snowflake Support5. Option E is incorrect because deleting an account is not a task that can be performed by the ORGADMIN role. To delete an account, the user must contact Snowflake Support.Reference:CREATE ACCOUNT | Snowflake Documentation,SHOW ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS | Snowflake Documentation,Getting Started with Organizations | Snowflake Documentation,SYSTEM$GLOBAL_ACCOUNT_SET_PARAMETER | Snowflake Documentation,ALTER ACCOUNT | Snowflake Documentation, [DROP ACCOUNT | Snowflake Documentation]


Question #5

A user, analyst_user has been granted the analyst_role, and is deploying a SnowSQL script to run as a background service to extract data from Snowflake.

What steps should be taken to allow the IP addresses to be accessed? (Select TWO).

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B, D

To ensure that an analyst_user can only access Snowflake from specific IP addresses, the following steps are required:

Option B: This alters the network policy directly linked to analyst_user. Setting a network policy on the user level is effective and ensures that the specified network restrictions apply directly and exclusively to this user.

Option D: Before a network policy can be set or altered, the appropriate role with permission to manage network policies must be used. SECURITYADMIN is typically the role that has privileges to create and manage network policies in Snowflake. Creating a network policy that specifies allowed IP addresses ensures that only requests coming from those IPs can access Snowflake under this policy. After creation, this policy can be linked to specific users or roles as needed.

Options A and E mention altering roles or using the wrong role (USERADMIN typically does not manage network security settings), and option C incorrectly attempts to set a network policy directly as an IP address, which is not syntactically or functionally valid. Reference: Snowflake's security management documentation covering network policies and role-based access controls.
