Whenever I create any user then I don't want to show information_schema table to that user.
Is it possible to remove permission of information_schema table for particular user ?
As far as I can tell, no

However, you can manage what a user sees by manipulating their administrative role

I need to delete database access from some hosts. There are two options:
This option appears to be the best as I don't need to delete individual users
use mysql;
delete from user where host='myhost';
In second option below, I need to delete individual users.
drop user 'user1'#'myhost';
drop user 'user2'#'myhost';
drop user 'user3'#'myhost';
Any idea what is the difference between these options? Any pro and cons?
Thanks
When you use DROP USER Statement it removed one/more accounts + their accounts privileges.
When you use DELETE User it's just an SQL command which effects for table(s).
DROP is always more powerful than delete
Or You can use REVOKE to remove all permeation granted
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM 'user'#'myhost';
Privileges are
ALL PRIVILEGES – grants all privileges to the MySQL user
CREATE – allows the user to create databases and tables
DROP - allows the user to drop databases and tables
DELETE - allows the user to delete rows from specific MySQL table
INSERT - allows the user to insert rows into specific MySQL table
SELECT – allows the user to read the database
UPDATE - allows the user to update table rows
Read More about DROP USER Statement
Modifying the database tables requires a flush privileges call to refresh the cached data. Also, you have to make sure that you manually delete all user AND privileges (e.g., for tables, columns) manually.
Grant/drop user work immediately.

I have created the user on MySQL and grant SELECT access on some tables. I only want this user has SELECT access on these tables, nothing else. This is my query for creating the user and granting access:
create user 'test'#'localhost' identified by '123test';
grant select on APE.CertificationAttachment to 'test'#'localhost';
The problem is when I use this user login, I can not see anything under schema in Workbench. I try to login at other tools such as Dbeaver but the table and schema still don't show up. I tried to give schema privilege to the user, but that action will either give select access to all table or show the entire schema.
So my question is how should I do to make the users see the table and only these table that they have SELECT access to.
I have a table, lets call it student, in a schema called enrollment. Table student has a column called address that I don't want a certain user to update (other permissions are fine such as select, insert). All other columns in that table AND in that schema should have the update privilege.
Is this doable?
You can set privileges on database / table / column. But I really would not try to use MySQL's privilege mechanism at that level. I would instead write application code to decide who can see/change what. This is more flexible in the long run. And more graceful to the user -- instead of getting a cryptic MySQL error message about permissions, the UI would simply not show what should not be shown. For updating, the UI would not even give the user the option.
In my case, I wanted a specific application to be able to update only 1 field (my_field) in only 1 table (table_name) while being able to read the entire database.
I created a special user for that purpose:
CREATE USER 'restrictedUser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD_HERE';
SET PASSWORD FOR 'restrictedUser'#'%' = PASSWORD('PASSWORD_HERE');
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT SELECT ON DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
GRANT UPDATE (my_field) ON DATABASE_NAME.table_name TO 'restrictedUser'#'%';
Documentation for Column privilege can be found here for mariaDb and here for mysql
Is there any table type that can only be accessed by a particular user?
This table can only be viewed and accessed only by the user who created it
Yes you can.
But you can create a table that has user created column so you can use it on your where condition.
I think the answer is Yes
You can set privileges for that particular table like who can access that table. Like,
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, .
I have tried in via phpmyadmin.
I was wrong. Yes you can set user specific access for particular table. Its syntax is as follow
GRANT SELECT ON db2.invoice TO 'jeffrey'#'localhost';
Temporary tables are available under particular session and not accessible by any other session. It will be dropped on session close.

Is there a way to configure a mysql table so that writing and reading is possible but not deleting?
For example, a table that contains many logs that are legally important and that must never be deleted.
You would just grant the INSERT and SELECT privileges on the table in question (this prevents the possibility of a row being changed)
GRANT INSERT,SELECT ON mydb.mytable
TO secureduser#localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
From this you would go on to add wider permissions to the other tables in the database for this user.
Also, check out the Archive Storage Engine, which is custom designed for this kind of audit-trail application.
Revoke the delete privilege from all users for that table.
Another option is to use the Archive storage engine. It only allows insertion, no updates or deletes (from anyone - even a privileged account)
You could do as he says below or...
What you could do, is give users 'roles' in number form, then pass this number to a script which would remove the row... but if the passed number is below a certain 'minimum role expectation' then they are denied access to the script?
