Question

Default user of mysql database has no priviliages to grant privilages to other users

The default user provided when the database is created doadmin has no privileges. When trying to run this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'new_user'@'%';

I get this error:

ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation

and I get a similar error when trying to give doadmin user privileges.

Hi @mahdyhamad45Ray,

I Assume you are using MySQL managed database. Are you running GRANT ALL with ‘doadmin’ user? If not suggest you execute using ‘doadmin’ user account.

The Below documentation can guide you:

I hope this helps!
