Re: How grant privileges to *groups* (not to individual users)

It's "usual" for an application to be the database "user", and your users (or groups) are users of your application.

IOW, your users don't interact directly with MySQL, but with an application that uses mysql as a store for it's data.

It then becomes a task of your application to authenticate users of the application in their roles.

MySQL then only has to deal with the various roles of the application when accessing the data base. Like a "read" user, an "Update" user & c.

Good luck,
Barry.
