Today, we have project with our partner and he want access to our database (MySQL) to show more information about project. What should i do ? Of course, i can’t send admin account for him because it is very sensitive and maybe it can harm for our system. Ok, I need a new account for our partner and that account just have some permission read on database of this project.

Step 1 : Connect to database with MySQL command mysql -u root -p

Step 2 : Create account with name (our partner name is peter) CREATE USER ‘username‘@’host‘ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password‘;

username : specify username for account password : is new password for peter user host : IP server user is used to connect to MySQL server

Example : create account peter/[email protected] CREATE USER 'peter'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[email protected]';

Step 3 : Grant privileges for account GRANT privileges PRIVILEGES ON database.* TO ‘username‘@’host‘;

privileges : ALL, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX database 

Example : Grant all permission on database ‘ikewnit’ for account ‘peter’ GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ikewnit.* TO 'peter'@'localhost';

Step 4 : Flush to update privileges FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 5 : Try to login (use phpmyamin)
