MySQL super Privilege

By Aanchal SharmaAanchal Sharma

MySQL super Privilege

Introduction to MySQL super Privilege

MySQL super Privilege is a GRANT statement that provides permissible privileges that allows a user account to make administrative changes and execute different operations in the database table. super Privilege in MySQL permits a MySQL user to apply admin level operations and queries which includes KILL, PURGE BINARY LOGS, SET GLOBAL, CHANGE MASTER TO and also mysqladmin command. Privileges are provided in MySQL to perform operations based on SQL queries and command prompt. This comprises of defined privilege levels that helps to regulate the level to which the privileges can be implemented with access. Basically, it is a kind of MySQL GRANT statement that supports different privilege levels such as Global, Database, Table, Column, Stored Routine and Proxy Types.

Syntax of MySQL super Privilege

Let us see an elementary syntax to use super privilege in MySQL and add this command to the database after user is created:

CREATE USER super@localhost  IDENTIFIED BY 'pass_super!';

GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO ‘user@localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘Password_Name’;

After we execute the above statement, we need to remember to end the query adding the below command:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

  • Here, the symbol *.* denotes that it is applied for all databases present in the MySQL server. user@lcoalhost defines the user created on the MySQL server using CREATE USER as similar to that of CREATE TABLE statement. Also, the Password_Name denotes the specified password set for that user at the time of creating it in the server.
  • Again, running of the Flush privilege statement indicates to reload the grant tables in the database server which enables the modifications to be effective without the need of restart or reload actions on MySQl service option.

How super Privilege works in MySQL?

In MySQL, the CREATE USER command is responsible to create one or multiple user accounts without privileges. This means a user account can be logged into the server but still does not have rights do perform any actions such as to query data from database tables and to select any database.

To make the user account perform with the database objects, there should be privileges granted to it. This is done by using the GRANT statement that allows a user account to hold one or multiple privileges to make any operations in the MySQL server.

Following is the basic syntax for GRANT query:

GRANT privilege [,privilege],…
ON privilegelevel
TO accountname;

For example, suppose we want the SELECT privilege for table Products in the database provided to the user account achu@localhost:

GRANT SELECT
ON Products
TO achu@localhost;

For privilege levels, let us see major levels supported by MySQL as follows:

  • Global Privileges: It implements to all present databases in the server MySQL. We need to apply *.* structure code after ON keyword.
  • Database Privileges: It implements to all available database objects comprising of indexes, tables, views, etc. using the syntax after ON as DatabaseName.*
  • Table Privileges: It implements to all table columns in a database.

The syntax is:

DatabaseName.TableName

  • Column Privileges: It implements to a table column but column or columns should be specified for every privilege used after GRANT keyword.
  • Stored Routine Privileges: It implements to stored functions as well as procedures.
  • Proxy User Privileges: It applies proxy of one user for other one. All privileges of a proxy user already are delivered to the proxy user. We need to add PROXY after GRANT in the syntax ON root.

It should be noted that before using the GRANT query you should confirm that the user holds the GRANT OPTION privilege and also the rights that will be granting. You must need the super privilege access to run a GRANT statement if there is enabled the system variable read_only.

Example of MySQL super Privilege

Given below is the example of MySQL super Privilege:

Normally, we will build a new user account initially using the CREATE USER query and afterwards implementing the GRANT statement to allow privileges to that user account to make changes within a database server.

Suppose, we are creating a user as super@localhost by the CREATE TABLE command in MySQL shown below:

Code:

CREATE USER super@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'pass_super!';

Next, let us display the privileges allocated to the super@localhost user using the SHOW GRANTS command as follows:

Code:

SHOW GRANTS FOR super@localhost;

Output:

MySQL super Privilege 1

Here, the USAGE denotes that the user named super@localhost is able to log in the database server but still holds no privileges.

On the third step, we will now provide all privileges in all available databases in the present MySQL database server to the user super@localhost.

Code:

GRANT ALL
ON achu.*
TO super@localhost;

Next again, view the details through SHOW GRANTS query statement executed as below:

Code:

SHOW GRANTS FOR super@localhost;

Output:

MySQL super Privilege 2

The result shows that the user super has all the privileges on the localhost in the server MySQL for all databases. This means that the Super privileges will allow to use all GRANT privileges and make operations in the server. The permissible privileges can be used for the REVOKE and GRANT statements.

The super privileges in MySQL affects the operations and behaviours of MySQL server:

  • It empowers the server configuration modifications by altering global system variables. Like to set up a session variable also we need to have the super privilege.
  • It permits to make changes to the global transaction features as well as to start account, stop replication along with Group Replication.
  • It allows use of statements such as CREATE SERVER, DROP SERVER and ALTER SERVER. Also, enables to implement mysqladmin debug query.
  • It permits InnoDB encryption along with key rotation. In addition, it empowers reading DES key by the help of DES_ENCRYPT() function.
  • It gives control over the client connections and allows to execute Version Tokens MySQL user defined functions.
  • You should have super privilege when the binary logging is allowed, either to create or, modify the stored functions in MySQL.

Conclusion

Initially, we need to have super privilege in MySQL to run the GRANT statement query.The global level privileges are defined to be the administrative privileges to implement and use the super privileges in MySQL. The super privilege in MySQL helps to avoid unauthenticated access and allows to grant privileges to user accounts that are valid and managed by the admin of the MySQL database server. Thus, this is significant factor for security and maintenance of the MySQL server.
