Users who can Install MySQL Workbench on MySQL Server Machine

If you use or have MySQL Workbench on the MySQL Server PC you can do this with just a few clicks. Recommend only for development environment.

1. Connect to MySQL Server

2. Find this option Users and Privileges from Navigator and click on it.

3. Select root user and change value for Limit to Hosts Matching to %.

4. The click Apply at the bottom.

This should enable root user to access MySQL Server from remote machine.
