Hi,
This may be a strange question, but I was wondering if it is possible to
have a user starting/stopping the mysql server who wouldn't have access to
the data.
To explain: I want to set up a server as user "Groupinstaller" for example.
This is a virtual user to allow other people of my group to start/stop the
server by becoming "Groupinstaller".
But I don't want this user to be able to see the different databases of the
different people, nor touch the data directory. For example, I have a
database called db1 and my coworker has a db called db2.
I am root of mysql, so I have access to all the databases, but he is just a
user with access to his db and not to mine. If no other solution, I could
eventually do with a read access, but I really don't want to allow write.
I was thinking at replacing the typical "mysql" user by the "Groupinstaller"
one, but this user owns the data directory...
Does anybody know if it is possible, and how?
thanks,
melanie
