How does Snowflake Cortex Code work with RBAC?

CoCo runs every generated SQL under your active role — no extra powers, fails on denied access.

Can CoCo access data without my permission?

Nope. It's strictly bound by your RBAC; same prompt yields different results per user privileges.

What are Snowflake CoCo credit limits?

Rolling 24-hour caps per user or account, set by ACCOUNTADMIN — hit it, and you're blocked instantly.
