QUESTION

What is the difference between _shared views and non-shared views on Panther databases in the Panther Data Explorer?

ANSWER

_shared views (known as Snowflake's secure views) are designed for sharing Snowflake data outside of the current account.

While it is possible that _shared views and non-shared views may contain the same data, the main function of Snowflake shared views is to allow a user to see data in Panther from other Snowflake accounts or view Panther data in their own Snowflake accounts.
