I have made a database called hospitals but when I try and grant my user privileges to the database I get an error back.
My code:
input:
CREATE USER 'axel'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123'
output:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
input:
grant all on hospitals.* to 'axel'#'localhost';
output:
You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
How do I fix this? I have tried different things but nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same error message.
The user 'axel'#'%' is not the same user as 'axel'#'localhost'.
You created the former with CREATE USER, then you try to use grant for the latter user, but that user doesn't exist.
MySQL used to allow you to create a user implicitly by granting privileges, but they disabled that specifically for cases like yours. The problem being that since you didn't realize these are different users, your GRANT would have inadvertently created 'axel'#'localhost' as a new user with no password. This was considered a security risk.

I was making a SQL file on MySQL as part of a school asignement and I think I got everyting right but a part where it specifies my to create an user an then revoke all permission from him
All sources I have found use something like
CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS user; REVOKE ALL ON *.* FROM user;
or
CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS user; REVOKE ALL ON *.* TO USER user;
But both return a systax error in the "FROM/TO" saying that a EOF is expected and I don't even know what is that; am I doing something wrong here?
Should I refer to something first, separate the code sentence or what am I missing?
Seems like a pretty easy task to do and the rest of the code is working, but that error is driving me crazy
This syntax drops all global, database, table, column, and routine privileges for the named users or roles:
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION
FROM user;
I ran the following query to create a user with restrictions on what columns they can view/edit in a certain table. The table has foreign keys to other tables that I haven't given any access to. I want the user to be able to edit the columns under INSERT and just have read-only access to the columns under SELECT.
CREATE USER 'user'#'hostname';
GRANT SELECT (`Status`,`Number`,`Location`), INSERT (`Name`,`Address`,`Email Address`,_
`Home Number`,`Work Number`,`Mobile Number`,`Date Available`) ON `project1`.`table1`_
TO 'user'#'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
The query runs and creates the user. I am getting users to use HeidiSQL to edit data in this table. When I login as the user, the only table visible is table1, as expected, however when I click on the table I get the error:
/* SQL Error (1142): SHOW command denied to user 'user'#'<IP address different to hostname IP address>' for table 'table1' */
and cannot see any data at all under 'Data'
The following question was asked on Stack Overflow, however none of the suggested solutions worked for me:
'SHOW command denied to user' when setting up user permissions
If I run the query
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER;
I get:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*<password different to one set originally>'
GRANT SELECT (Status,Number,Location), INSERT (Name,Address,Email Address,Home Number,Work Number,Mobile Number,Date Available) ON `project1`.`table1` TO 'user'#'%'
I get a view of the columns in the table if I run (but still can't view any data):
SHOW COLUMNS FROM table1;
Does anyone know why this user is not getting a view of the data in table1?
I managed to find a solution.
I needed to first of all 'GRANT SHOW VIEW' to the user so they could view the data in the table.
Next, I changed my query so that I granted the SELECT permission to ALL the columns, and granted the UPDATE permission to all the columns EXCEPT the colulms I wanted to leave as Read-Only to the user.
The following is the query I ran, which worked successfully:
CREATE USER 'user'#'localhost';
GRANT SHOW VIEW ON `project1`.`table1` TO 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT SELECT (`Status`,`Number`,`Location`,`Name`,`Address`,`Email Address`,`Home Number`,_
`Work Number`,`Mobile Number`,`Date Available`), UPDATE (`Name`,`Address`,`Email Address`,_
`Home Number`,`Work Number`,`Mobile Number`,`Date Available`) ON `project1`.`table1` TO _
'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
I have a table, lets call it student, in a schema called enrollment. Table student has a column called address that I don't want a certain user to update (other permissions are fine such as select, insert). All other columns in that table AND in that schema should have the update privilege.
Is this doable?
You can set privileges on database / table / column. But I really would not try to use MySQL's privilege mechanism at that level. I would instead write application code to decide who can see/change what. This is more flexible in the long run. And more graceful to the user -- instead of getting a cryptic MySQL error message about permissions, the UI would simply not show what should not be shown. For updating, the UI would not even give the user the option.
In my case, I wanted a specific application to be able to update only 1 field (my_field) in only 1 table (table_name) while being able to read the entire database.
I created a special user for that purpose:
CREATE USER 'restrictedUser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD_HERE';
SET PASSWORD FOR 'restrictedUser'#'%' = PASSWORD('PASSWORD_HERE');
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT SELECT ON DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT UPDATE (my_field) ON DATABASE_NAME.table_name TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
Documentation for Column privilege can be found here for mariaDb and here for mysql
I have a database that is shared between some users, and I want to manage their permissions on this.
I want to give permission for creating a new table, and accessing (select, insert, update, delete) to that table of course, to a user that doesn't have full permission on the database (only he has SELECT access to some tables).
So, I executed this query:
GRANT CREATE ON eh1 TO user1
Then, when I logged in with that user and tried to create a new table, I got this error:
1142 - CREATE command denied to user 'user1'#'localhost' for table 'folan'
What is the problem here? How can I do that?
UPDATE
The problem solved partially by changing the command to this:
GRANT CREATE ON eh1.* TO user1
Now there is another problem, that the user1 cannot select or insert into the newly created table. The reason is understandable, but is there a way to solve this?
Thanks
use as per below-
GRANT CREATE ON eh1.* TO user1#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'user1_password';
Note: '%' will provide access from all ips, so we should provide rights to specific ip instead of all ips, so change '%' with any ip like '191.161.3.1'
If user need select/insert/update/delete/create rights then syntax will be -
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE ON eh1.* TO user1#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'user1_password';
Update as per user requirement:
GRANT CREATE ON eh1.* TO user1#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'user1_password';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON eh1.table1 TO user1#'%';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON eh1.table2 TO user1#'%';
Following this, correct syntax is
GRANT CREATE ON eh1.* TO user1
With eh1 a database.
If you don't use ".*", your database is considered a table.
I want to create a user and only allow them to use select statements on the cameracircle database. So I have the following code:
CREATE USER 'hoeym'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE cameracircle;
GRANT SELECT ON cameracircle TO 'hoeym'#'localhost';
But the phpmyadmin doesn't like that. If I run this it says there is an error cause I don't have a databases selected, and if I add in USE cameracircle; before the GRANT statement it says that there is no table inside the database with the same name as the database. What have I done wrong?
Before you issue a GRANT statement, check that the
derby.database.sqlAuthorization
property is set to true. The derby.database.sqlAuthorization property enables the SQL Authorization mode.
Solved it with
GRANT SELECT ON cameracircle.* TO 'hoeym'#'localhost';
phpMyAdmin lets you do this graphically. From the Users tab, look for Add User then don't select anything for the Global Privileges area. Go ahead and create the user, then edit the privileges. Halfway down the page there's a area for "Database-specific privileges" where you can specify the permissions on a database (or even table-) level.
