Who can access the data published in a Data Exchange?

Snowflake ' s Data Exchange allows data providers to publish data that is accessible only to users they explicitly invite. This mechanism ensures that only approved users or Snowflake accounts have access, adding a layer of security and control. Invited users can query the shared data directly within their Snowflake account without requiring data copies, reducing redundancy and enhancing data accessibility within controlled boundaries. This selective sharing feature is part of Snowflake’s secure data-sharing capabilities.
