Character set changes depending upon privs

You are viewing an old version of this question. View the current version here.

When a no-priv user connects to MariaDB-5.5 or MariaDB-10, the default character set is utf8 (session variables = global variables). Meanwhile, when a full-priv user connects, the default character set is latin1 (session variables <> global variables). Is this sensitivity to privs documented anywhere? Or perhaps the priv observation is not 100% correct; can defaults for user accounts created in 5.5 somehow get messed up during the move to 10 ?
