EXAMPLES

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

GRANT CREATE VIEW
  ON *.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

To grant the CREATE VIEW 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 CREATE VIEW
  ON DATABASE_NAME.*
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

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

GRANT CREATE VIEW
  ON DATABASE_NAME.TABLE_NAME
  TO 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

For general guidance on privileges, see "Privileges".

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

REVOKE CREATE VIEW
  ON *.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

To revoke the CREATE VIEW 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 CREATE VIEW
  ON DATABASE_NAME.*
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

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

REVOKE CREATE VIEW
  ON DATABASE_NAME.TABLE_NAME
  FROM 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME';

For general guidance on privileges, see "Privileges".

SHOW Output

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

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

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%';
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for app_user@192.0.2.%                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT CREATE VIEW ON `app_db`.* TO 'app_user'@'192.0.2.%' |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

Privilege Failure

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

CREATE
 VIEW hq_sales.2022_01_invoices AS
    SELECT * FROM hq_sales.invoices
    WHERE MONTH(invoice_date) = 1 AND YEAR(invoice_date) = 2022;
ERROR 1045 (HY000): [11281] Permission denied: User 'USERNAME'@'HOSTNAME' is missing CREATE VIEW on `hq_sales`.`2022_01_invoices`; transaction aborted
