如何在mysql中为用户授予禁用权限

Question

For some testing, I had unchecked INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions on Data in phpMyAdmin.

Now when I tried to enable those permissions again, am getting follow error:

Can anyone please guide me how to enable the privileges again?

Answer 1

I was facing this problem in XAMPP on Mac. There are many solutions provided in various posts, but no one was completely fixing my problem. So I am updating the answer, as it may help someone else to fix their problem. Steps followed are:

1. Stop mysql server in XAMPP sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server stop

2. Edit my.cnf to skip grant privileges to user sudo vi /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf

3. Add skip-grant-tables at the end of [mysqld] section

4. Restart mysql server sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server restart

5. Connect with mysql server (username and password are not required) mysql

6. Type following commands respectively:

   UPDATE mysql.user SET Grant_priv='Y', Super_priv='Y' WHERE User='root';

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

   GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';

Now you are good to go :)
