User Management
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 that 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.
Admin permissions are needed to review the user permissions:
