Answer 1

The issue is probably that you have VIEWS in your database. The views are probably created with specific rights.

As you can tell by your error message, it complains about a different user than the one you are logged in is. This is because for a view you can specify how to determine what rights the view has to look at data.

When you go to your database, try typing:

SHOW FULL TABLES IN sunflower_work WHERE TABLE_TYPE NOT LIKE '%table%';

Then you may wish to look into the rights of the specific views that are there.
