MySQL Read-Only User

Estimated reading time: < 1 min

Slemma requires a read-only user for connecting to your database. Create a new read-only user, if you haven’t yet, and grant the user privileges. Copy command below and paste it into a MySQL shell to create the user. This will grant the user read-only access to ALL tables in your database. Use the created user to connect to your MySQL database in Slemma.

GRANT SELECT, SHOW VIEW

ON `%schema%`.*

TO `%user%`@`52.21.150.73` IDENTIFIED BY ‘%password%’;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Where %schema%  – database_name, %user% , and %password% are desired user and password you’d like to create. 

With a read-only user created, you can now activate the Slemma connection and begin visualizing your data.
