is it possible with mysql to automatically grant an user (which has CREATE privilege) ALL privileges exclusively on her new created databases ? (without manually changing rights after the db is created)

It's possible to grant privileges to any database which name is match some mask. Usually I do this for each new user:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `userdbname\_%`.* TO `username`@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'userpass'; 

After this command user will have all privileges to any database which name match "userdbname_SOMETHING". He also will be able to create any amount of databases at any time which name match this mask.

  • +1; and if you use phpMyAdmin, you can also do this on its graphic user interface: look at "Privileges" tab, "Add a new User". OR with an existing user, you can even "Edit Privileges", so you can modify the user's existing privileges. It's very easy this way. Commented Aug 24, 2011 at 13:56
