I have a database role named app_user with select, update, insert and delete rights on all tables except 2. On this 2 tables app_user role has only select right.
But, some users have right to create database users (using create login, sp_adduser, sp_addrolemember). To be able to execute this procedures they must have sysadmin server role. In this case sysadmin role is over database role app_user and they can update this 2 tables. Currently, I'm giving them securityadmin role but they can execute only create login while creating db users.
To summarize,
I want to protect updating 2 tables for all users except my sysadmin account, and I want some users to be able to create database users (my app executes sp which grant db permission for that kind of users).
You might get a better answer on the DBA site, but it looks like you want to allow the users to execute 3 commands: CREATE LOGIN, CREATE USER and sp_addrolemember (because ALTER ROLE can't add members to a role in SQL Server 2008).
According to the documentation, the minimum permissions needed are:
CREATE LOGIN - ALTER (ANY) LOGIN
CREATE USER - ALTER ANY USER
sp_addrolemember - ALTER permission on the role
So they shouldn't need either sysadmin or db_owner permissions, if you grant them the permissions listed above.

Im currently setting up a database system with a lot of different users, having access to only limited views, and tables of the database system.
Now I need to create several triggers as the root user, to prevent some actions. But all the users should be able to create a trigger for a database created for them and the tables within. This is working fine since every user has database-specific privileges. Sadly this does allow for some reason the user to delete triggers set by the root user on their database.
If I have database 'A' with table 'test'. I create a trigger as root user for database 'A' table 'test'. Now user 'someone' has privileges to create triggers for database 'A', but he should NOT be able to remove any trigger set by the root account on database 'A'. Sadly he can remove triggers created by root... anyone know how to fix this for MySQL?
Here is the privileges for the user for the specific database:
Now the query executed by the root user:
Result in with SHOW TRIGGERS executed by user 'someone' on database 'A':
Execution of DROP TRIGGER by user 'someone' on database 'A':
Why can the user remove this trigger? It's not created by him but root... Also for anyone asking, the query 'SELECT CURRENT_USER();' returns 'someone#localhost' and NOT 'root#localhost', i have activly switched accounts.
If you grant a user the TRIGGER privilege to create triggers on a given table, you grant them all the operations that privilege covers, which includes both create and drop
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/drop-trigger.html says:
DROP TRIGGER requires the TRIGGER privilege for the table associated with the trigger.
It doesn't matter who defined the trigger. MySQL generally has no concept of ownership for database objects like tables or triggers.
You are going to have to think of a different design that does not require users to be disallowed this access.
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.
Cf. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/privilege-changes.html
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
I need to provide access to a particular database for two logins, but I'm unable to find a proper query, following is the incorrect query ,if someone could help me with the correct one that would be helpful
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::<DBName> TO {[USER1] AND [USER2]} ;
I don't know which database you work. I've been doing similar work for DB SQL Azure. Firstly you need to create a login and user at SQL server level:
CREATE LOGIN someLogin WITH password='<Password>';
CREATE USER someUserName FROM LOGIN someLogin ;
GO
Secondly assign a role to a user at SQL server level:
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'dbmanager', 'someLogin';
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'loginmanager', 'someLogin ';
GO
After that, you need to create a database and user for it:
CREATE DATABASE SomeDB;
GO
Finally you can create a some users at database level and assign them roles.For this purpose you need to run a query in the context of the database created above:
CREATE USER [someDBUserName] FOR LOGIN [someLogin];
GO
If necessary you can assign roles for this user:
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'someDBUserName';
GO
For SQL AZURE the following database-level roles are available:
db_owner, db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_ddladmin,
db_securityadmin, db_backupoperator, db_denydatareader, db_denydatawriter.
