MySQL unable to import SQL that creates procedures - mysql

Question

I am using a hosted web service account that uses cpanel as its management system. When logged into phpmyadmin, I am trying to import an SQL file that contains tables and some procedures.
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `getClientDashboardStatsMap` (IN `in_userID` INT) BEGIN
SELECT
rl.city,
rl.state,
rl.zip,
rl.longitude,
rl.latitude,
rl.timestamp,
count(rl.ID) as total
FROM
crowd.redemption_log as rl
JOIN
reward as r
ON
rl.rewardID = r.rewardID
WHERE
r.userID = 1
AND
rl.timestamp BETWEEN NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY AND NOW()
GROUP BY
rl.city, rl.state, rl.zip
ORDER BY
total DESC;
END$$
When I try to run this, I get an error about needing super user privileges to do so. Doing some searching, people suggested removing the definer line like so:
CREATE PROCEDURE getClientDashboardStatsMap (IN in_userID INT) BEGIN.
While this allows me to complete the import, I am running into another issue. The procedures are getting a default definer of cpaneluser#localhost. However, the database user that is set up is different than this user so the procedure has no permissions for things like select, update, delete. The database user is cpaneluser_dbusername, which is typical for hosted sites like this so you can associate databases with accounts.
How else can I get this procedures to run, under the correct user? I don't see any settings in PHPMYADMIN for privileges in order to run these as a super user.

There are two ways to solve this problem:
Log into phpmyadmin with the database user cpaneluser_dbusername. I am not familar with phpmyadmin and cpanel, so I'm not sure whether they provide you the option to change the user. You should check it out by yourself. I'm using MySQL Workbench and MySQL Administrator, they both privode me this option.
Grant privileges to cpaneluser#localhost. Such as:
GRANT ALL ON db_name.table_name TO 'cpaneluser#localhost';
It's better if you grant each privilege explicitly, e.g.: GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON .... Check GRANT Syntax.
