CREATE USER 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';
GRANT SELECT ON `databasename`.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
Create new user
CREATE USER 'newuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT type_of_permission ON database_name
GRANT SELECT ON database_name.table_name TO 'username'#'localhost';
Once you have finalized the permissions that you want to set up for your new users, always be sure to reload all the privileges.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Here is a short list of other common possible permissions that can be used.
ALL PRIVILEGES- as we saw previously, this would allow a MySQL user full access to a designated database (or if no database is selected, global access across the system)
CREATE- allows them to create new tables or databases
DROP- allows them to them to delete tables or databases
DELETE- allows them to delete rows from tables
INSERT- allows them to insert rows into tables
SELECT- allows them to use the SELECT command to read through databases
UPDATE- allow them to update table rows
Try this
> GRANT SELECT, SHOW VIEW ON databasename.* TO 'username'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
create read only user
CREATE USER 'user_name'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT SELECT, SHOW VIEW ON database_name.* TO 'user_name'#'%';

I want to have a non-root mysql user that can create another databases and users and grant access to that users to created databases. To do this as root I firstly created a user
CREATE USER asusi_admin#localhost IDENTIFIED BY '123';
Then I grant create user PRIVILEGE to this user
GRANT CREATE USER ON *.* TO 'asusi_admin'#localhost';
Then I grant all privileges to this user for the every database he creates
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `asusi\_%`.* TO 'asusi_admin'#'localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
Now I'm flushing privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now I'm logging on to MySQL as newly created user asusi_admin and creating a new database
Now I'm creating a new database
CREATE DATABASE asusi_database;
Now I'm checking that I can use this database
USE asusi_database;
I can use this database, good
Now I'm creating a new user
CREATE USER 'asusi_user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED '123';
Now I want to grant select privilege to the created user
GRANT select on `asusi_database`.* 'asusi_user'#'localhost'
And here I'm getting an error: 'Access denied for user 'asusi_admin'#'localhost' to database 'asusi_superdb'
Should I relogin as root and explicitly grant access to this database to a asusi_user
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `asusi_database`.* TO 'asusi_admin'#'localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
and then relog in as asusi_admin and run the command again
GRANT select on `asusi_database`.* 'asusi_user'#'localhost'
this time it gives me no error and user asusi_user can read database asusi_database. Apparently MySQL wants me to explicitly grant access to the user asusi_admin for the every created database via root account. But I don't want to use the root account. I thought that after executing this command
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `asusi\_%`.* TO 'asusi_admin'#'localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
user asusi_admin will be able to grant access to other users to the ecery database that stats with 'asusi_' prefix. May be I missed something or this behavior is designed to be that way?
It seems this is a confirmed bug, that was not fixed yet https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=75097, so nothing you can do right now with it.
So I did created a new user, granted all privilages, and flushed the privilages.
The newly created user can also see the information_schema, mysql, performance_schema and sys databases. However, I don't want the user to access those 4. I just want him to have CREATE/DROP/DELETE/INSERT/SELECT (All the required ones), etc permissions on newly created databases.
I did the following:
CREATE USER 'newuser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'#'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Run REVOKE for the given databases:
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON mysql.* FROM 'newuser'#'localhost';
I would skip the information_schema revoke. You can see if the user still works without it, but I somehow doubt that.
Privileges: Privileges defines the access rights provided to a user on a database object. There are two types of privileges.
1) System privileges allows the user to CREATE, ALTER, or DROP database objects.
2) Object privileges allows the user to EXECUTE, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE data from database objects to which the privileges apply.
You need to revoke the privilege here you want to remove .Below is the syntax
REVOKE privilege_name
ON object_name
FROM {user_name |PUBLIC |role_name}
Oddly enough it seems my mysql will not allow creating a user with access to a specific database. Using MySQL Workbench:
CREATE USER 'testUser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'thepasswordhere';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testDatabaseName TO 'testUser'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
SHOW GRANTS;
I see nothing mentioning granted privileges for the created user. This explains why I get mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'testUser'
What step am I missing?? Update: Even when I mistype the username I still get a success with 0 rows affected: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testDatabaseName TO 'testkUser'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION; so I think something's seriously wrong with my local mysql. Any ideas on a fix?
CREATE USER 'testUser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'thepasswordhere';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testDatabaseName.* TO 'testUser'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
SELECT sql_grants FROM common_schema.sql_show_grants;
What changed? I simply added a .* after database name. It's necessary so the user has access to all tables inside the database.
Also for the latest mysql, I believe you need to put user password when using grant.
So do as follows:
CREATE USER 'testUser'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'thepasswordhere';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testDatabaseName.* TO testUser#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
SELECT sql_grants FROM common_schema.sql_show_grants;
As mentioned by Michael in the question comments:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'testUser'#'localhost';... otherwise, SHOW GRANTS;
shows your privileges -- the ones associated with the account that is
currently logged in.
I have a non root user in mysql database. It has grant, create, create user permissions. I need to create a new database and user using that account. Then i need to grant basic usage permissions to newly created user on the newly created database..
I was able to create a new database and user using the non root user. Now when it comes to granting permission for newly created user on newly created database using the non root user i get permission denied for non-root user on newly created user... Any workaround?
Included from OP's comments:
Executing:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'non_root_account_name'#'his_host'
Resulted the following:
GRANT CREATE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE USER
ON *.*
TO 'non_root_account_name'#'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'password'
WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE,
DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, SHOW VIEW
ON non_root_account_name.*
TO 'non_root_account_name'#'localhost'
WITH GRANT OPTION`
GRANT SELECT
ON mysql`.*
TO 'non_root_account_name'#'localhost'`
As per documentation on GRANT privileges :
To use GRANT, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the privileges that you are granting.
Meaning, your account to grant privileges to other users, it should have a GRANT OPTION privilege.
Connect as root and re-execute grant on your account to grant the above privilege.
Example:
GRANT
-- list of privileges here
-- to your account name # host
WITH GRANT OPTION
I want to create a new user in MySql. I do not want that new user to do much with my existing databases [I just want to grant Select privilege to him], but he can do anything and everything with a new database which he creates.
Firstly, is there a way to grant permission as per the database owner? If it is possible, then that is the ideal thing I am looking for. And if not, then how do I restrict a particular user from accessing [only Select privilege] some specific database only, allowing him to do anything he wants with the remaining ones?
From the MySQL grant documentation:
CREATE USER 'jeffrey'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'jeffrey'#'localhost';
GRANT ALL ON db1.* TO 'jeffrey'#'localhost';
The first command creates the user. The second grants select on all databases and tables. The third command grants all access to all tables in db1.
Is there anything else specific you are looking to do?
To provide a specific user with a permission, you can use this framework:
GRANT [type of permission] ON [database name].[table name] TO ‘[username]’#'localhost’;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'newuser'#'localhost';
The asterisks in this command refer to the database and table (respectively) that they can access—this specific command allows to the user to read, edit, execute and perform all tasks across all the databases and tables.
Once you have finalized the permissions that you want to set up for your new users, always be sure to reload all the privileges.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
For more about permission you can read this article
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-new-user-and-grant-permissions-in-mysql
For the list of permissions, see the MySQL Manual page Privileges Provided by MySQL.
Open mysql command prompt.
To create a new user when host is localhost then use this command
CREATE user 'test_user'#'localhost' identified by 'some_password';
for any host use %, like this
CREATE user 'test_user'#'%' identified by 'some_password';
Once the user is created, you need to Grant some access. Use following command for this.
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE
ON database_name.table_name
TO 'test_user'#'localhost';
After successful execution of above query, test_user can select, insert and update in table_name (name of table) of database_name (name of database).
grant privilege is given in data base like this
grant privilege on object to user
object is any data base table or relation and user might be the whom the privilege is provided to him.
Example
grant select,insert,update,on object name to user name
grant select on employee to john with grant option;
revoke delete on employee from john.
