- Identify the specific permission that is missing by running:
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER;
- If you have the necessary permissions, grant the missing privilege to the user encountering the error. For example, if the user needs SELECT permission on a table named `mytable` in the database `mydb`, run:
GRANT SELECT ON mydb.mytable TO 'username'@'host';
Replace `SELECT` with the appropriate permission, `mydb.mytable` with the relevant database and table, and `'username'@'host'` with the actual username and host.
- If the user needs global permissions and you have the authority to grant them, run:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
.
TO 'username'@'host';
Adjust `ALL PRIVILEGES` and `'username'@'host'` as needed.
- If you're unable to grant permissions directly, check if you can elevate your privileges first or identify an account with the necessary privileges to execute the GRANT statement.
- After granting the necessary permissions, ensure the user flushes the privileges or logs out and back in to apply changes:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
6. Verify that the permission change resolved the issue by attempting the originally failed operation again.
