How can I restrict a MySQL user to a particular tables

Question

How can I restrict a user_account in MySQL database to a particular tables. Ex:

UserName: RestrictedUser
DatabaseName: db_Payroll 
TableName: 
  tb_Employee         


        

Answer 1

You can grant access to individual tables by running:

GRANT ALL ON db_Payroll.tb_Users to RestrictedUser@RestrictedHostName;

And similarly for other tables. Use a list of operations instead of ALL if appropriate.

You cannot grant access to individual tables which do not exist yet without granting access to all tables.
