#2 has a name (role-based user access, RBAC) and is widely used, but its formulation above needs a correction: create roles, and users who can be assigned different and possibly multiple roles.

hi,

i would like to discuss 'user management' in mysql. Working with Oracle you can assign users to roles giving them privileges provided by that role. MySql doesn't have Roles. I have read (Managing and Using MySql, O'Reilly) 3 options on managing users having multiple roles in a MySql environment:
1. Giving the user a Single user ID and assign the privileges to that user ID
2. Create role-bases users and have different people share the same user ID for a given role.
3. Create multiple user IDs for each role played by each user (dannys_arch as an architect, dannys_dev as a developer).

Which of these 3 options is the most preferable one or are there more options which you can use. What are the advantages and disadvantages on working with one of these 3 options? how do you handle hostnames when working with random ip-addresses on your site.

Or just plain simple (or stupid) what are your experiences on user management in a MySql environment.

Best regards,
