How To Create a New User and Grant Permissions in MySQL

In the cases where more restrictions may be required, there are ways to create users with custom permissions. Let’s start by making a new user within the MySQL shell: CREATE USER 'nikesh'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; Sadly, at this point newuser has no permissions to do anything with the databases. In fact, if newuser even tries to login (with the password, password), they will not be able to reach the MySQL shell. Therefore, the first thing to do is to create new database and provide the user with access to that database. create database nikeshdb; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nikeshdb.* TO 'nikeshshk'@'localhost'; The asterisks in this command refer to table that they can access—this specific command allows to the user to read, edit, execute and perform all tasks across all the databases and tables. Once you have finalized the permissions that you want...
