How to give file permission to user in Managed Mysql

I want to do some file operations on my managed mysql. I tried adding privileges using GRANT ALL ON testdb.* TO 'sammy'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION; but this does not do the trick. I also tried grant file on testdb.* to 'sammy'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION; This returns an error- Error Code: 1227. Access denied; you need (at least one of) the FILE privilege(s) for this operation

Hey @vaibhavchauhan,

I believe that you are getting that error as the FILE permission actually grants access to the filesystem on the server itself which is most likely restricted on the managed database clusters.

You could try reaching out to the DigitalOcean support team who might be able to grant you that specific privilege though there is a chance that this might not be doable:

Hope that helps!
