To temporarily bypass a network policy by configuring the user object property MINS_TO_BYPASS_NETWORK_POLICY, the USERADMIN role should be used. This role has the necessary privileges to modify user properties, including setting a temporarybypass for network policies, which can be crucial for enabling access under specific circumstances without permanently altering the network security configuration.

In a scenario where a Snowflake user queries only a small number of rows that require significant processing and the data in the table does not change frequently, the most effective way to optimize performance is by creating a materialized view based on the query. Materialized views store the result of the query and can significantly reduce the computation time for queries that are executed frequently over unchanged data.
Why Materialized Views:Materialized views precompute and store the result of the query. This is especially beneficial for queries that require heavy processing. Since the data does not change frequently, the materialized view will not need to be refreshed often, making it an ideal solution for this use case.
Implementation Steps:
To create a materialized view, use the following SQL command:
CREATEMATERIALIZEDVIEWmy_materialized_viewASSELECT...FROMmy_tableWHERE...; When the query is run, Snowflake uses the precomputed results from the materialized view, thus skipping the need for recalculating the data and improving query performance.
