MySql : Grant read only options?

Question

I have a user, whom I want to grant all the READ permission on a db schema.

One way is this :

GRANT SELECT, SHOW_VIEW  ON test.* TO \'readuser\'@\'%         


        

Answer 1

GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

This will create a user with SELECT privilege for all database including Views.
