GRANT

This statement allocates privileges to a pre-existing user in TiDB. The privilege system in TiDB follows MySQL, where credentials are assigned based on a database/table pattern.

MySQL compatibility

  • Similar to MySQL, the USAGE privilege denotes the ability to log into a TiDB server.
  • Column level privileges are not currently supported.
  • Similar to MySQL, when the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER sql mode is not present, the GRANT statement will automatically create a new user with an empty password when a user does not exist. Removing this sql-mode (it is enabled by default) presents a security risk.
