No, you cannot clone users in the Snowflake. The two sets of objects that can be cloned are Data containment objects and Data configuration & Transformation objects.
Cloning the data using the concept of zero-copy clone snowflake, reproduces a schema, table, or database. When it is produced a snapshot is made accessible in the copied object by capturing it from the source object. Both the clone and the source object are not related to each other.
Clones help to create copies of any existing object in the system.
