Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide on how to create a new user account in <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/mysql\">MySQL<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connect to MySQL Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Open a terminal or Command Prompt and log in to the MySQL server as a user with administrative privileges. You can use the following command and enter the password when prompted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$mysql -u root -p<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create a new MySQL User<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re logged in to the MySQL server, you can create a new user using the <code>CREATE USER<\/code> statement. Replace <code>new_user<\/code> with the desired username, and <code>password<\/code> with the password you want to set for the user (replace <code>user_password<\/code> with the actual password):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-sql\">mysql&gt; CREATE USER &#039;new_user&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039; IDENTIFIED BY &#039;user_password&#039;;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>&#039;localhost&#039;<\/code> part indicates that this user can only connect from the local machine. If you want the user to be able to connect from any host (not recommended for security reasons), you can use <code>&#039;%&#039;<\/code> instead of <code>&#039;localhost&#039;<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grant Privileges to the MySQL User<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating the user, you need to grant appropriate privileges to the user for the databases or tables they should access. For example, to grant all privileges on a specific database to the new user, you can use the <code>GRANT<\/code> statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-sql\">mysql&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_database_name.* TO &#039;new_user&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039;;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace <code>your_database_name<\/code> with the name of the database you want to grant access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to grant different sets of privileges or restrict access to specific tables, you can modify the privileges accordingly. For example, to grant only <code>SELECT<\/code> privileges, you can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-sql\">mysql&gt; GRANT SELECT ON your_database_name.your_table_name TO &#039;new_user&#039;@&#039;localhost&#039;;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apply Changes and Refresh Privileges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating the user and granting privileges, apply the changes and refresh MySQL privileges for them to take effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-sql\">mysql&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exit the MySQL Client<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have created the user and granted the necessary privileges, you can exit the MySQL client by typing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-sql\">mysql&gt; EXIT;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it! The new user account is now set up in MySQL with the specified privileges. They can use the provided credentials to connect to the MySQL server and access the granted resources. Remember to follow best practices for securing your MySQL server and creating strong passwords for user accounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To set up a MySQL user account,
