How does the authorization associated with a pre-signed URL work tor an unstructured file?
Correct Answer: A
* A pre-signed URL in Snowflake grants access to unstructured files (e.g., in external stages) without requiring additional authentication.
* The URL includes an embedded token that specifies the expiration time and access permissions.
* Key Point: Anyone who has the pre-signed URL can access the referenced file for the duration of the token's validity.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* B. Only the user who generates the URL can use it: The URL is shareable and not restricted to its creator.
* C. Users with roles and privileges: Pre-signed URLs bypass direct role or privilege checks.
* D. Role specified in GET REST API call: This is unrelated to pre-signed URL access.
