EVENT Privilege

GRANT

The following examples demonstrate grant of a single privilege. A single GRANT statement can grant multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To grant the EVENT privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

GRANT EVENT
  ON *.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

To grant the EVENT privilege at database scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') and database name (DATABASE_NAME) in the following query to align to your requirements:

GRANT EVENT
  ON DATABASE_NAME.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

REVOKE

The following examples demonstrate revoke of a single previously-granted privilege. A single REVOKE statement can revoke multiple privileges at the same scope by providing a comma-separated list of the privileges.

To revoke the EVENT privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

REVOKE EVENT
  ON *.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

To revoke the EVENT privilege at database scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') and database name (DATABASE_NAME) in the following query to align to your requirements:

REVOKE EVENT
  ON DATABASE_NAME.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

SHOW Output

A user's privileges can be displayed using the SHOW GRANTS statement.

If the EVENT privilege is present, it will be shown as EVENT in the output. For example:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%';

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for app_user@192.0.2.%                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT EVENT ON `app_db`.* TO 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%' |
+-----------------------------------------------------+

Privilege Failure

The EVENT privilege results in no failures since it makes no changes in operation.
