Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sharing data using database roles. Database roles are generated within a database container of a provider account. Grants to a particular subset of the plurality of data objects of the database container may be assigned to each of the database roles, and each of the database roles are granted to a share object. The share object is mounted within a consumer account to generate an imported copy of each of the database roles. The imported copy of one or more of the database roles is granted to each of one or more account level roles of the consumer account. When a new object is added to a particular database role, it is immediately available for consumption by any account level roles to which the imported copy of the particular database role has been granted.
