In addition to performing all the standard steps to share data, theUSAGEprivilege must be granted on each database referenced by a secure view in order to be shared. When sharing a database or specific objects like secure views, the receiving account needs to have theUSAGEprivilege on the database and schema to access the shared data. Thisprivilege enables the receiving account to access the database and its schemas but does not allow for any DML operations. It's a prerequisite for accessing any objects within the database.

For a secure view to be part of a share, not only does the view itself need to be shared, but the underlying database (and schema, if applicable) must also be accessible to the recipients. GrantingUSAGEprivilege on the database ensures that the receiving account can access the database in a read-only mode to utilize the shared view.
