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}

I need to revoke permission for root user in mySql. root user should not be able to create and drop tables in the database.
I checked revoke command but somehow it is not working for root user. If I create a new user and revoke permission, it works, what am I missing for root user or we can't revoke permission for 'root'?
SHOW GRANTS FOR root#localhost;
--Displays
GRANT RELOAD, SHUTDOWN, PROCESS, FILE, SHOW DATABASES, SUPER, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, CREATE USER, CREATE TABLESPACE ON *.* TO 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*7BB96B4D3E986612D96E53E62DBE9A38AAA40A5A'
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, CREATE VIEW, SHOW VIEW, CREATE ROUTINE, ALTER ROUTINE, EVENT, TRIGGER ON `%`.* TO 'root'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT PROXY ON ''#'' TO 'root'#'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
Then
REVOKE all on myDb.* from root#'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' to database 'myDb'
I think, you don't want to do that. Root user is made that way to have all the privileges of all CRUD operations and creating new users and giving them privileges.
If your motive is to limit the access, make different users depending upon your need. For eg: you may only want to a user to read the records. That's a safe option because you may use that user only for reading purpose. OR just for read, write and edit privileges.
Edit:
If you still want to do this, check this answers How can I restore the MySQL root user’s full privileges? . It might help you.
I was looking through the MySQL documentation for information on how to grant a user the ability to create and drop other users. The examples given are for creating and dropping databases and tables.
Does the GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES permission assigned to a user also implicitly mean that they can create and drop other users? If so, is there any other GRANT privilege that allows this without automatically making the user a superuser? Or would the process be first making them a superuser and then revoking specific permissions?
To use DROP USER, you must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the DELETE privilege for the mysql database.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/drop-user.html
To use the first REVOKE syntax, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the privileges that you are revoking.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/revoke.html
The GRANT OPTION privilege is not part of GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES .... It has to be specified at the end of the GRANT statement, ... WITH GRANT OPTION. This privilege allows a user possessing it to grant any privileges that the user possesses... to other users. Or to revoke them. (You can't grant a privilege that you, yourself, lack... or revoke one, as noted above.)
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.
I want to have multiple a MySQL users to be able to issue commands like
CREATE DATABASE dbTest;
But I also want each of these users to be able to see and access only their own databases.
All I could find was how to either create the databases by a DBA and grant the privileges on this database to the specific user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbTest.* TO 'user';
or grant privileges on all databases to a user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user';
But neither is what I want, because it needs to scale and be secure.
You can use
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `testuser\_%` . * TO 'testuser'#'%';
to grant the user testuser privileges on all databases with names beginning with testuser_.
This allows the testuser to create databases limited to names starting with testuser_
You can use
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `testuser_%` . * TO 'testuser'#'%';
to grant the user testuser privileges on all databases with names beginning with testuser_.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this user is now also allowed to create databases.
Yes, this allows the testuser to create databases limited to names starting with testuser_
Create a stored procedure that is defined by the admin user and invokes with the admin user privileges by using SQL SECURITY DEFINER. In the stored procedure,
Create the database.
Set the privileges on the database so only the current user has access.
Execute FLUSH PRIVILEGES to reload the privileges from the grant tables.
Use USER() to get the current user login details.
Find out more about SQL SECURITY DEFINER.
It is impossible to do this using permissions only .
The workaround as suggested in another answer:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONtestuser_%. * TO 'testuser'#'%';
has the problem that the users must then be very careful in naming their databases.
For example if user aaa creates database bbb_xyz, it can then be accessed exclusively by user bbb but not by user aaa.
