I was wondering what would be the minimum grant options to allow for read only access to a mysql database. I have a member of management who insists on using MS Access to link to our mysql database. I have built a PHP front end that give people the access that he needs but still they insist on using mysql connector and MS Access.
I can only thing that they would need SELECT access or maybe just USEAGE Access. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I gave the user USAGE only access but that was to low. After reading on-line and finding vague description I found out that USAGE is equal to no privileges. So at that point I granted SELECT Permissions and user is able to read all entries from database. I figured this is what I needed to do but I didn't know if MS Access would dink around my permissions and kill DB. Connected MS Access to MySQL using OBDC MySQL connector.
