Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sharing database roles using hidden roles. A database role may be generated within a database container having a plurality of data objects, wherein the database role exists exclusively within the database container. A set of grants to a particular subset of the plurality of data objects of the database container may be assigned to the database role and the database role may be granted to the share object. The share object is mounted within a consumer account to generate an imported database container within the consumer account, the imported database container including an imported copy of the database role. The imported copy of the database role may be granted to each of one or more account level roles of the consumer account to share the particular subset of the plurality of data objects without creating proxy objects in the consumer account that represent the particular subset of the plurality of data objects.
