User Management

Admin permissions are needed to execute one of the following processes.

Creating user 'test' with password 'test'

> CREATE USER test test

As global permissions, you can set 'none', 'read', 'write', 'create' and 'admin':

Revoking all global permissions from user 'test'

> GRANT none TO test

Valid local permissions are 'none', 'read' and 'write':

Granting write permission on database 'factbook' to user 'test'

> GRANT write ON factbook TO test

Note: Local permissions overwrite global permissions. As a consequence, the 'test' user will only be allowed to access (i.e., read and write) the 'factbook' database. If no local permissions are set, the global rights are inherited.

Showing global permissions

> SHOW USERS

Showing local permissions on database 'factbook'

> SHOW USERS ON factbook

Dropping of user 'test'

> DROP USER test

Permissions hierarchy

In the permission hierarchy the higher permission contains all underlying rights. For example if you have the permission 'write' you also have the permission 'read'.
