priv_type: The privileges to grant the specified user.
priv_level: The resource on which to grant privileges.
user_or_role: One or more user attributes or a role attribute.
Remarks
The GRANT command creates a new user if the specified username does not exist.
This command can be run on any MemSQL node. For more information, see the Node Requirements for MemSQL Commands.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to grant privileges to the existing memsql_admin user:
memsql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'memsql_admin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
The following example demonstrates how to grant the specified privileges to all databases to the full_backups_role role.
memsql> GRANT BACKUP, RELOAD ON *.* TO ROLE 'full_backups_role';
If you removed ROLE from the example above, the GRANT command would apply privileges to the user 'full_backup_role'@'%'.
