When you have 10,000 users scattered across every continent your access control needs get complex.

ex: you don't want all users to be able to access finance's tables, else you might have folks trading stock on information they're not supposed to be privy to.
Snowflake is a Data Warehouse that is hosted in the cloud. The permission policies that you can define can become very complex - actually I find it's too complicated, I prefer BigQuery from GCP because of this reason.
