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'
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 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 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.
