Snowflake Certification Practice Test

True or False: ACCOUNTADMINs are the only users that receive Resource Monitor notifications?

1. True

2. False

3. Only in specific scenarios

4. Users can opt in for notifications

The correct answer is: True

The statement that ACCOUNTADMINs are the only users that receive Resource Monitor notifications is true because the ACCOUNTADMIN role has the highest level of privileges and is responsible for managing account-level settings in Snowflake. Resource Monitors are tools that help manage resource usage, particularly regarding credit consumption and workload management. Since the ACCOUNTADMIN has the authority to create, modify, and view Resource Monitors, it logically follows that they are the primary recipients of notifications related to resource usage and alerts. This ensures that the individuals responsible for managing the overall operation and costs of the Snowflake account are well-informed about resource consumption and can take appropriate action as needed. Other roles typically do not have the same level of oversight and control, which is why they do not automatically receive these notifications.
