As far as I know, MySQL Access Privilege system does not allow you to
create groups of users. You can have only users.
Communication between MySQL Server and MySQL client is, normally, NOT
encrypted. You can do that using SSL connections to your server (Mysql4
feature). Check

Subject: a few questions regarding MySQL rights
Our programmer is designing a large scale database and I have some
questions.
1) can I create groups, add users and assign privileges to the group?
2) since this system is going over a VPN the data should be encrypt using
3DES. If a authorized user needs access to the data who is not in the VPN
this information would be traveling in a clear text format (please correct
meif I'm wrong) but is there a way to encrypt the data?
Thanks
