No. it does not save any credentials in an Account. Purpose of Federated and SSO is to authenticate the User and pass the authorization to SSO/Snowflake. user authentication is separated from user access through the use of one or more external entities that provide independent authentication of user credentials. The authentication is then passed to one or more services, enabling users to access the services through SSO. A federated environment consists of the following components: Service provider (SP): In a Snowflake federated environment, Snowflake serves as the SP. Identity provider (IdP): The external, independent entity responsible for providing the following services to the SP: Creating and maintaining user credentials and other profile information.

False, SCIM does auto user provisioning not SSO

Should be B

Yes it does. Supported SSO Workflows Federated authentication enables the following SSO workflows: Logging into Snowflake. Logging out of Snowflake. System timeout due to inactivity. The behavior for each workflow is determined by whether the action is initiated within Snowflake or your IdP. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-security-fed-auth-overview.html#supported-sso-workflows

B is correct
