Revoke Delete privilege (There is no such grant defined for user) - mysql

I am trying to revoke the Delete on mysql user
I used this code
REVOKE DELETE
ON *.*
FROM 'sample_user'#'%';
But this returns me something like this
Error Code: 1141. There is no such grant defined for user
Is it possible to revoke it? Currently I have this privileges
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, PROCESS, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW
DATABASES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT,
CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, CR...
I just want to remove the Delete Privilege

It looks like you applied the All privileges permissions at the database.* level.
You cannot only Revoke privileges at the database.* level as the All privileges was not simply carried down to the individual tables.
Try to wiped privileges at the database level all together.
And then, you able to Grant and Revoke them on a table basis.
The effect of REVOKE statement depends on the privilege level:
Global level
The changes take effect when the user account connects to the MySQL Server in the subsequent sessions. The changes are not applied to all currently connected users.
Database level
The changes take effect after the next USE statement.
Table and column levels
The changes take effect on all subsequent queries.

Mysql user doesn't have GRANT OPTION, but is still able to create other users, grant permissions

I've got a user that shows the following grants when I run SHOW GRANTS FOR my_user:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, PROCESS, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON my_db.* TO 'my_user'#'%'
I've run FLUSH PRIVILEGES, but the issue persists.
Is the issue with the granted permissions that remain, or some step I likely missed?

RDS Grant Privileges (Remove Delete Privileges on Specific Table?) MySQL

Currently I have a master user in RDS like this
'master'#'%'
and I've create a user like this
'new_user'#'%'
As of now I can grant that user with these privileges
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, PROCESS, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, CREATE USER, EVENT, TRIGGER ON *.* TO 'new_user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '1234' WITH GRANT OPTION
Is it possible to grant these permission but with the limit of
DELETE PRIVILEGE? on a specific table like this tblCart
Like, I can delete on all but except for table tblCart deleting is not allowed in this table?
The old answer is wrong. Since you didn't define DELETE ON *.tblCart this wont work. You will have to revoke DELETE on all and add them manually.
REVOKE DELETE ON *.* FROM `new_user`#`%`;
GRANT DELETE ON <db>.<tbl1> TO `new_user`#`%`;
...
GRANT DELETE ON <db>.<tblN> TO `new_user`#`%`;
See this post for how to generate the statement for all tables.
Old answer
After you applied your grants the way you did bove you can revoke permissions from tblCart like so:
REVOKE DELETE ON *.`tblCart` FROM `new_user`#`%`;
This will keep all permissions on all tables but remove permission do delete rows from tblCart.

Cannot grant privileges to a user using root on mysql

I am trying to give explicit permissions to an user on mysql and im doing this (to an already created user)
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES,
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW,
CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, EVENT, TRIGGER
ON mydatabase.*
TO 'myuser'#'localhost' ;
But im getting this weird error:
Incorrect usage of DB GRANT and GLOBAL PRIVILEGES
I tried on other schemas with other users making a GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES and seems is working. Any idea?
Some privileges only make sense when the grant references ON *.* as the schema.table.
The manual page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html lists all the available privileges, and notes each for global, database, table, based on whether you can grant them at different levels of scope.
The SHOW DATABASES privilege can only be granted at the global level.
So you'll have to do it this way:
GRANT SHOW DATABASES
ON *.*
TO 'myuser'#'localhost' ;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, INDEX, ALTER,
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW,
CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, EVENT, TRIGGER
ON mydatabase.*
TO 'myuser'#'localhost' ;
I had the strange thing that the "root" user had the rights to grant rights, but I still had to use the user "admin" instead.
With root, I got:
SQL Error [1045] [28000]: Access denied for user 'root'#'%' (using password: YES)
It might just be the setup, but when I look it up in the GUI of DBeaver (Connection --> Users --> Grants --> View Grants), they both have all of the rights checked, and I still cannot grant rights with the "root" user.
Perhaps it helps someone with another weird db setup.

MySQL create new user revoke access to certain DB's

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}

MySQL permissions to see all databases

I have a few users on my server who have access to every MySQL database. I'm trying to revoke privileges but I'm not sure how to go about it.
For example: I have a user bob who has access to every database on my server. I run the following to see which privileges bob has:
mysql -e "select * from information_schema.user_privileges;" | grep bob
'bob'#'%' def SELECT NO
'bob'#'%' def INSERT NO
'bob'#'%' def UPDATE NO
'bob'#'%' def DELETE NO
'bob'#'%' def CREATE NO
'bob'#'%' def FILE NO
'bob'#'%' def CREATE USER NO
Nothing jumps out like GRANT, ALL or SUPER. I create a new database sometest, switch to bob's account and see that bob has access to sometest. Not sure what I am missing here.
Edit: I ran SHOW GRANTS FOR 'bob'#'%'; and see:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, SHUTDOWN,
PROCESS, FILE, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES,
LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW,
CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, CREATE USER, EVENT, TRIGGER, CREATE TABLESPACE
ON *.* TO 'bob'#'%'
1) How does one drop this permission? I assume if I run:
REVOKE SELECT, INSERT,... on *.* to 'bob'#'%';
it will remove permissions like
GRANT ALL ON bobsdb.* TO 'bob'#'%';
which I don't want to happen. But maybe it's best to just remove all privileges and build them back up from scratch.
2) How does one identify all permissions like this? Do I have to look over every user?
You should be able to view the users' grants using the command:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'bob'#'localhost';
From the MySQL manual:
The SHOW DATABASES privilege enables the account to see database names by issuing the SHOW DATABASE statement. Accounts that do not have this privilege see only databases for which they have some privileges, and cannot use the statement at all if the server was started with the --skip-show-database option. Note that any global privilege is a privilege for the database.
If SHOW DATABASES is enabled, revoke that permission.
REVOKE SHOW DATABASES ON *.* FROM 'bob'#'localhost';
Lastly, reload all the privileges using the command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
(or restart MySQL - if that's an option - often it's not).
P.S: You might need to replace 'localhost' with your db hostname.

Edit:
To answer your questions:
1) How does one drop this permission? I assume if I run: REVOKE SELECT, INSERT,... on *.* to 'bob'#'%';
You could simply run REVOKE ALL ON *.* TO 'bob'#'%';
2) How does one identify all permissions like this? Do I have to look over every user?
