“Reader accounts can be used to query and view shared data, but cannot extract data out of Snowflake (e.g. unload data into files, or copy data into another database).”
Reader Accounts are special Snowflake accounts created and managed by a data provider to let consumers query shared data without needing their own Snowflake account. These accounts are intended for read-only access to shared data within Snowflake. They cannot export or unload data to external locations like S3, Azure Blob Storage, or even download locally.
You cannot perform the following tasks in a reader account: - Set a data metric function on objects in the reader account. - Upload new data. - Modify existing data. - Unload data using a storage integration. "However, you can use the COPY INTO <location> command with your connection credentials to unload data into a cloud storage location."
