Create a new user in MariaDB and GRANT ALL privileges (Part 2)
Part 1: Install MariaDB in Ubuntu
Part 2: Create a new user
If you have been following our MariaDB tutorials in Part 1 we installed MariaDB and logged in as root.
In Part 2 we create a new user and assign that new user all privileges, enabling the user to create, insert, update, delete and query databases
In the terminal enter the following command.
The command creates a new user name mycomputertips@localhost with the password 12345
CREATE USER mycomputertips@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '12345';
Now we want to give the user
mycomputer@localhost all the privileges
In the terminal enter the following command
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO mycomputertips@localhost;
Now we need to exit MariaDB. Enter exit in the terminal
exit
Then login as the new user remembering to enter your password
mysql -u mycomputertips -p
If everything went as planned you should have logged in as mycomputertips and be at the MariaDB prompt.
