Tool for editing MySQL table permissions?

Question

Is there a tool that makes the task of editing user privileges easier on a MySQL database? I've got nearly 100 tables to work through for 4 users, each with different per-table grants, which is getting tedious via phpMyAdmin. It'll get a lot more irritating when I make changes to the database structure and user list later on. I also can't see a way to do it in MySQL Workbench.

Are there any permissions management tools that make management of table permissions easier?

Update: For clarification, I need a tool that can manage the per-schema and per-table permissions for a user. I'll be changing permissions later, so it needs to be able to fully manage existing permissions as well as grant new ones. MySQL Workbench allows management of per-schema privileges, but not per-table.

Answer 1

You may want to look at www.securich.com - its an open source user management tool for MySQL.

Answer 2

Workbench is supposed to let you manage users and grant privileges -- see here. You can also use Navicat (not free) or if you are on a mac, Sequel Pro, which is free.

Answer 3

MySQL Workbench provides this functionality.

1. Open a connection via 'Server Administration'
2. Click on 'Users and Privileges'
3. Select the 'Schema Privilegs' tab
4. Create entries for the schema you're working on, per your needs.

Answer 4

Mysql gui tools . See here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html MySQL Administrator allows you to do all that.

Answer 5

Just looked at my install of Squirrel-SQL here. I've only got Oracle databases in this copy of it, but I use it for MySQL at home. Anyway, for Oracle, for tables, it has two tabs: Privileges, and Column Privileges. It may or may not provide similar functionality for MySQL. Give it a look perhaps. (I like it for other database work.)

Answer 6

I realize the question is a couple of years old but I came across it while looking for a solution so I suppose others might as well.

I came across SQL Yog and find it capable of doing all that I wanted. I use the community version so it is free to download and its User Manager has the capability to set permissions at the schema and table level.

Answer 7

phpMyAdmin allows table-level privileges. More details can be found, for exemple, here and here.

Answer 8

Try Security Manager tool in dbForge Studio for MySQL (the Security Manager is available in free Express Edition).

In new version multi-user editing is supported; you can select some users and grant or revoke Global and Object (database, tables, fields, ...) privileges, then apply changes or view them in SQL script.
