MySql grant user permission

Question

I want to create a new user in MySql. I do not want that new user to do much with my existing databases [I just want to grant Select privilege to him], but he can do anythin

Answer 1

Open mysql command prompt.

To create a new user when host is localhost then use this command

CREATE user 'test_user'@'localhost' identified by 'some_password';

for any host use %, like this

CREATE user 'test_user'@'%' identified by 'some_password';

Once the user is created, you need to Grant some access. Use following command for this.

GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE
ON database_name.table_name
TO 'test_user'@'localhost';

After successful execution of above query, test_user can select, insert and update in table_name (name of table) of database_name (name of database).
