I want to create a user and only allow them to use select statements on the cameracircle database. So I have the following code:
CREATE USER 'hoeym'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE cameracircle;
GRANT SELECT ON cameracircle TO 'hoeym'#'localhost';
But the phpmyadmin doesn't like that. If I run this it says there is an error cause I don't have a databases selected, and if I add in USE cameracircle; before the GRANT statement it says that there is no table inside the database with the same name as the database. What have I done wrong?
Before you issue a GRANT statement, check that the
derby.database.sqlAuthorization
property is set to true. The derby.database.sqlAuthorization property enables the SQL Authorization mode.
Solved it with
GRANT SELECT ON cameracircle.* TO 'hoeym'#'localhost';
phpMyAdmin lets you do this graphically. From the Users tab, look for Add User then don't select anything for the Global Privileges area. Go ahead and create the user, then edit the privileges. Halfway down the page there's a area for "Database-specific privileges" where you can specify the permissions on a database (or even table-) level.

I have made a database called hospitals but when I try and grant my user privileges to the database I get an error back.
My code:
input:
CREATE USER 'axel'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123'
output:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
input:
grant all on hospitals.* to 'axel'#'localhost';
output:
You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT
How do I fix this? I have tried different things but nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same error message.
The user 'axel'#'%' is not the same user as 'axel'#'localhost'.
You created the former with CREATE USER, then you try to use grant for the latter user, but that user doesn't exist.
MySQL used to allow you to create a user implicitly by granting privileges, but they disabled that specifically for cases like yours. The problem being that since you didn't realize these are different users, your GRANT would have inadvertently created 'axel'#'localhost' as a new user with no password. This was considered a security risk.
Within my mysql script,
I am creating a user as follows:
CREATE DATABASE fire;
after creating a table called Table1, privileges are changed
GRANT SELECT ON fire.Table1 TO 'user1'#'localhost';
In this case, fire is hardcoded, however, say in the future, I created a mysql database called called "ice" and I wanted to reuse the script above, but I want the below line to this time grant privileges for fire.TABLE1, but in this case, it is really "ice.TABLE1". How do I make mysql think that "fire" means some other variable without having to change "fire" to "ice" everywhere on my script?
GRANT SELECT ON fire.Table1 TO 'user1'#'localhost';
Do not include the database name in your grant scripts, but issue a use dbname statement to set the default database for your scripts to whatever database you want to work with.
As mysql manual on grant statement says:
If you use ON * syntax (rather than ON .), privileges are assigned at the database level for the default database. An error occurs if there is no default database.
So, your script would look like:
USE fire;
GRANT SELECT ON Table1 TO 'user1'#'localhost';
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 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
I want to create a new user in my MySQL database that is able to select and update only certain columns of my table via phpmyadmin. I know this question has been asked several times here but I have a problem that was never mentioned before.
I use this command to give the user access to select two rows in the table:
GRANT SELECT (id,name) ON db.table TO 'user'#'%'
When I login with this user at phpmyadmin and want to display the table (i.e. only the columns id and name) it gives me following error message:
#1142 - SELECT command denied to user 'user'#'localhost' for table 'table'
If I grant select on the table it works but then the user can see the whole table.
Can anybody please help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!
Edit: I also tried it with a view and that worked perfectly. The problem was, when I used the search function of phpmyadmin, I was not able to do any changes to the search results. The error messsage said that there was no 'unique' key defined, but the view contained the primary key column and another column that was defined as unique.
You might need to check if 'user'#'localhost' has GRANT privileges that are overriding the 'user'#'%'.
Try these commands:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user'#'localhost';
and
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user'#'%';
Then compare the privileges shown.
