I deleted a bunch of databases but forgot to revoke privileges for certain user... What is easiest way to get list of databases that don't exist but user has privileges on, so i can foreach that array and revoke privileges on (found_list) from my user?
You can use SCHEMATA and SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES tables in INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
SELECT * FROM schema_privileges
LEFT JOIN schemata ON (catalog_name=table_catalog and schema_name=TABLE_SCHEMA)
WHERE schema_name IS NULL;
This will give you privileges that were granted for tables that don't exist anymore. It may not take into account certain permissions give using wildcards so please pay attention on output.

I am trying to revoke select privilege from a particular table from a MySQL DB.
Database level restriction is working but table level is not.
When I write "show grants"
This is what I get :
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'rachit'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `test123`.* TO 'rachit'#'localhost' |
| GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON `test123`.`names123` TO 'rachit'#'localhost'
As you can see above I want to
revoke select privilege from rachit user on 'names123' table of 'test123' database, but SELECT is working.
I have attached a screenshot below for better understanding.

If you GRANT ALL ON test123.* TO 'rachit'#'localhost' you cannot remove one table by running REVOKE ALL ON test123.* TO 'rachit'#'localhost'.
some DBMS systems specifically DENY option for specifically denying access to specific table but this is not the case for mysql.
you may consider to write script and give access to each table one by one
Discussion:
If it wasn't specifically GRANTed, it can't be REVOKEd. This is an unfortunate side effect of the not-so-user-friendly Grant/Revoke syntax and implementation.
You can use a SELECT against information_schema.TABLES to automate the discovery of all the other tables. And have the SELECT build the desired GRANTs.
Possible workaround:
Another approach to your particular problem is to move that one table to a different database. Then GRANT different permissions to that db.
i'm looking for a way to find all privileges for a specific user.
Provided I have a User "John" who has read-only rights on some tables, is there any "select" or "show" to retrieve me the names of the tables "john" has the rights for? So far, i looked in information_schema but couldn't find any specific information on grants for tables.
Or if i set up a role via mysqlworkbench, where is the formation on this role stored in?
how can i manually assign a new user to this role?
Thank you!
SHOW GRANT FOR user will display multiple rows of data for the user.
SELECT * from mysql.user where User = 'user'
will get the grants for the whole server.
SELECT * from mysql.db where User = 'user'
will get the grants by database.
mysql.tables_priv mysql.columns_priv, and mysql.procs_priv show the fine-grained grants if any happen to exist.
How can I restrict a user_account in MySQL database to a particular tables. Ex:
UserName: RestrictedUser
DatabaseName: db_Payroll
TableName:
tb_Employees
tb_Users
tb_Payroll_YYMMDD
tb_Payroll_Processed
I want to restrict "RestrictedUser" to tb_Users and tb_Employees only and the rest of the tables of db_Payroll that will be created for future use is granted to have access.
Assuming the user has no current privileges, you can do the following
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE ON db_Payroll.tb_Users TO RestrictedUser#'%'
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE ON db_Payroll.tb_Employees TO RestrictedUser#'%'
Depending on exactly which privileges you wish to grant the user, you can change SELECT, INSERT, DELETE to something else, e.g. ALL PRIVILEGES.
Afterwards, remember to flush the privileges so they become effective by running
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You can grant access to individual tables by running:
GRANT ALL ON db_Payroll.tb_Users to RestrictedUser#RestrictedHostName;
And similarly for other tables. Use a list of operations instead of ALL if appropriate.
You cannot grant access to individual tables which do not exist yet without granting access to all tables.
Assuming the user has no current privileges, if you have a lot of tables and you only want to give the user access to a few of those tables, the simplest work-around I know of is using a technique I personally refer to as QueryCeption™ (Query Within a Query):
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('grant select on `db_Payroll`.', table_name, ' to `RestrictedUser`#`%`') SEPARATOR ';
') from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'db_Payroll' and
table_name not in ('TABLE-YOU-WANT-TO-RESTRICT-1', 'TABLE-YOU-WANT-TO-RESTRICT-2','TABLE-YOU-WANT-TO-RESTRICT-3');
This will output a text field that you can copy and paste into your editor. This particular example will grant SELECT privileges to all tables that are not within the restricted table array for that user.
I talked to the developer of HeidiSQL about it and he told me I can query it by "show grants" command of sql, but i don't understand the result set coming from it.
show grants // I execute query here
GRANT USAGE ON . TO 'fsdb1user1'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
'something'
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP,
REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON
fsdb1.* TO 'fsdb1user1'#'%'
mysql documentation says
SHOW GRANTS displays only the privileges granted explicitly to the
named account. Other privileges might be available to the account, but
they are not displayed. For example, if an anonymous account exists,
the named account might be able to use its privileges, but SHOW GRANTS
will not display them.
I think there might be some software somewhere trying some queries and checks grants that way.
It appears that this user is allowed to do a lot. Here is actually a good reference on all of these http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html#grant-privileges.
The user in question can run SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries. They can CREATE tables and databases. They can DROP tables, databases, and views. They can create and alter INDEXes. They can ALTER table structures. They can use CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. And finally, they can LOCK TABLES that they have SELECT privileges on. In this case, the user can do this on any table in this database (fsdb1) and from any host.
Is it possible in MySQL to do a GRANT to a user on a set of tables within a database, e.g. to allow CREATE AND DROP ing of some table names but not others?
Neither of these seem to work:
GRANT SELECT ON `testdb`.`%_testing` TO 'wildcardtest'#'localhost';
GRANT SELECT ON `testdb`.`testing%` TO 'wildcardtest'#'localhost';
and the MySQL manual doesn't seem to give an answer either way.
The only wildcard that works in the GRANT statement is *
GRANT SELECT ON `testdb`.* TO 'user'#'localhost';
GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'privilegeduser'#'localhost';
It's all or one; there's no facility for dynamic matching of table names to granted privileges.
Nope. You can separate table names with commas but can't use wildcards in a GRANT.
Create a new empty database .
Give it access to the original database ( use a user who allready have access to original database )
in this new database
CREATE VIEW test as SELECT * from originaldatabase.tablename
WHERE conditions...
Then give test user access to NewDatabase whith
GRANT select on NewDatabase.* to 'testuser'#'localhost'
Then only create views for the tables you want testuser to access.
Also remember you can do a USER() in the WHERE part of the view:
example:
create view test as
select * from original.customer where mysql_user = USER()
In the original.customer you must then have a column 'mysql_user'
and every row the test user is allowed to see must have testuser#localhost as a entry
The testuser will see all the created views as tables in the database 'test'
