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:

Showing global permissions

> SHOW USERS

Showing local permissions on database 'factbook'

> SHOW USERS ON factbook

Dropping of user 'test'

> DROP USER test
