GRANT <privileges>
This statement allocates privileges to a pre-existing user in TiDB. The privilege system in TiDB follows MySQL, where credentials are assigned based on a database/table pattern. Executing this statement requires the GRANT OPTION privilege and all privileges you allocate.

MySQL compatibility
- Similar to MySQL, the
USAGEprivilege denotes the ability to log into a TiDB server. - Column level privileges are not currently supported.
- Similar to MySQL, when the
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USERsql mode is not present, theGRANTstatement will automatically create a new user with an empty password when a user does not exist. Removing this sql-mode (it is enabled by default) presents a security risk.
