Getting Started with Iceberg Tables - Error/Bug at Step 6 #1923

Describe the bug
At the "Create and Outbound Share" step within Step 6 of this Quickstart, the instructions say to grant the iceberg_lab role permissions to create a share. This doesn't allow that role to actually fully execute the Share to make it available to another account.

URL of where you see the bug
https://quickstarts.snowflake.com/guide/getting_started_iceberg_tables/index.html?index=..%2F..index#5:~:text=Create%20an%20Outbound%20Share

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Complete the Quickstart through Step 5 (Processing Iceberg Tables with Snowpark)
  2. Move on to Step 6 (Sharing Iceberg Tables)
  3. Try to complete the "Create an Outbound Share" step as instructed. You will get an insufficient privileges error when using the iceberg_lab role.

Expected behavior
Based on the instructions, the iceberg_lab role should be able to fully create a share with a secondary/reader account, but the privileges are insufficient, so you have to use the accountadmin role to move forward.
