To verify the privileges that have been granted to a specific role in Snowflake, the correct SQL command is SHOW GRANTS TO ROLE <Role Name>. This command lists all the privileges granted to the specified role, including access to schemas, tables, and other database objects. This is a useful command for administrators and users with sufficient privileges to audit and manage role permissions within the Snowflake environment.

This includes details such as the execution time, the number of rows processed, and the amount of data scanned for each operation within the query. The Query Profile is a crucial tool for understanding and optimizing the performance of queries, as it helps identify potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies.

In Snowflake, the query history and the results of queries executed by a user are accessible based on the roles and permissions. If User1 executed a query with the SYSADMIN role, User2 would be able to view the result set of that query executed by User1 only if User2 has the ACCOUNTADMIN role. The ACCOUNTADMIN role has the broadest set of privileges, including the ability to access all aspects of the account's operation, data, and query history, thus enabling User2 to view the results of queries executed by other users.
