That worked well. We logged in with the
admin_granter@localhost
user account and used
the
CURRENT_USER()
to confirmthe user account. Then we created a user with the
SELECT
privilege on the
birdwatchers
database. We were able to execute
SHOW
GRANTS
to verify this and then successfullyissued
DROP USER
to delete the user ac-
count. We can give this user account to someone on our staff whose responsibility will be
to manage user accounts for ourdatabases.
