MySQL GRANT: user authorization

In MySQL, the GRANT statement is used to provide privileges to a user account. It allows you to specify exactly what kind of access a user should have to your database.

Syntax:

Here is the syntax for the GRANT statement:

GRANT privilege_type ON database_name.table_name TO 'username'@'hostname';

Where:

privilege_type is the kind of access you want to grant. This could be SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALL, etc.
database_name is the name of your database, and table_name is the name of your table.
username is the name of the user you want to grant these privileges to.
hostname is the host from which the user will connect to the database.

Examples:

Grant SELECT on a specific table:

GRANT SELECT ON database_name.table_name TO 'username'@'localhost';

Grant all privileges on all databases and tables:

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

The *.* means all databases and all tables.

Grant multiple privileges on a specific database and all its tables:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

Note:

After executing a GRANT statement, it's a good idea to run the FLUSH PRIVILEGES command, which tells the server to reload the grant tables:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Remember:

Always ensure that your MySQL server is secure. Only grant the necessary privileges that a user needs to perform their tasks. Over-granting permissions can expose your server to various risks.
