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

GRANT BINLOG ADMIN
  ON *.*
  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 BINLOG ADMIN privilege at global scope, replace the user specification ('USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME') in the following query to align to your requirements:

REVOKE BINLOG ADMIN
  ON *.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

SHOW Output

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

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

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

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for app_user@192.0.2.%                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT BINLOG ADMIN ON *.* TO 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%' |
+-----------------------------------------------------+

Privilege Failure

An error message is raised if an operation fails due to insufficient privileges. For example:

CREATE BINLOG 'xpand-bin';

ERROR 1045 (HY000): [11281] Permission denied: User "'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME'" is missing BINLOG ADMIN on *.*; transaction aborted
