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.
• A user with SUPER permission can perform the following actions:
  • Set global variables, run administrative commands, and change password for other users.
  • Access all available resource pools. Permissions for additional resource pools can be given using the GRANT command.
• The WITH GRANT OPTION clause grants the GRANT OPTION privilege, which allows a user to grant any privilege that the user already has to other users within a scoped database. The GRANT ... WITH GRANT OPTION and GRANT GRANT OPTION ... statements are synonymous to each other. See GRANT for more information. Note: Different users with GRANT OPTION privilege may be able to combine their privileges. A user with both the GRANT OPTION and SUPER privileges can grant any privilege to the users (including themselves) within a scoped database.
• This command can be run on any SingleStore node. For more information, see the Node Requirements for SingleStore DB 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';

The following example demonstrates how to grant permissions for a resource pool to a user:

GRANT USAGE ON RESOURCE POOL <resource_pool_name> to '<user_name>'@'%';
