Information Schema USER_PRIVILEGES Table

The Information Schema USER_PRIVILEGES table contains global user privilege information derived from the mysql.global_priv grant table.

It contains the following columns:

Column	Description
`GRANTEE`	In the format `user_name@host_name`.
`TABLE_CATALOG`	Always `def`.
`PRIVILEGE_TYPE`	The specific privilege, for example `CREATE USER`, `RELOAD`, `SHUTDOWN`, `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE` or `REFERENCES`.
`IS_GRANTABLE`	Whether the user has the GRANT OPTION for this privilege.

The database, table and column privileges returned here are the ones granted on all databases and tables, and by implication all columns.

Similar information can be accessed with the SHOW GRANTS statement. See the GRANT article for more about privileges.

This information is also stored in the mysql.global_priv table, in the mysql system database.
