Hi I have a problem with privileges on MySql NT 3.23.52. I hope that someone can provide me with a solution.
If a user has USAGE privileges on the mysql db (*.*), and ALL privileges on another db (CUSTOMDB) in the system, that user can't login nor can they access the CUSTOMDB. The error reported is: "you have no access to database CUSTOMDB". Yet, according to the documentation, this user setup is valid. The Sql Statements are: GRANT USAGE on *.* to newuser identified by password 'mypassword' GRANT ALL on CUSTOMDB to newuser FLUSH PRIVILIGES SHOW GRANTS for newuser Returns: GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO ' newuser'@'%' GRANT ALL PRIVILIGES ON CUSTOMDB.* TO ' newuser'@'%' The purpose of this user setup is to prevent access to the mysql.user table, should the login be compromised.
