Edit Restricted MySQL User using command window

Editing an existing user with restricted privileges can be performed using the MySQL Client.

You can use REVOKE to remove some or all privileges or alternatively use GRANT to add additional privileges. This example assumes a user fred has been created with the privileges GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE assigned on database wordpress. You can revoke (remove) privileges; for example, the following command removes INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE.

REVOKE INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON wordpress.* FROM 'fred'@'localhost' ;

You can grant (add) privileges; for example, the following command adds INSERT and UPDATE.

GRANT INSERT, UPDATE ON wordpress.* TO 'fred'@'localhost' ;

You can display the grants assigned with the following command:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'fred'@'localhost';

Example for the above commands. Click MySQL console, which opens a command window. Then we run the MySQL Client with the following commands:

mysql -uroot -proot
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'fred'@'localhost';
REVOKE INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON wordpress.* FROM 'fred'@'localhost' ;
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'fred'@'localhost';
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE ON wordpress.* TO 'fred'@'localhost' ;
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'fred'@'localhost';
exit

The results are shown below.

C:\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\bin>mysql -uroot -proot

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'fred'@'localhost';
