Managing MySQL® users
You can add and remove users, as well as manage their settings.
Warning
To change user permissions at the level of the entire cluster or an individual database, use the Yandex Cloud interfaces. Changes made by SQL commands are not saved.
For more information, see User permissions.
Getting a list of users
- Go to the folder page
and select Managed Service for MySQL. - Click the name of the cluster you need and select the
Users tab.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name
or --folder-id
parameter.
To get a list of cluster users, run the following command:
yc managed-mysql user list --cluster-name=<cluster_name>
You can request the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.
-
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
-
Use the User.list method and make a request, e.g., via cURL
:curl \ --request GET \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mysql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>/users'
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
-
View the server response to make sure the request was successful.
-
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
-
Clone the cloudapi
repository:cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the
~/cloudapi/
directory. -
Use the UserService/List call and make a request, e.g., via gRPCurl
:grpcurl \ -format json \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \ -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/mysql/v1/user_service.proto \ -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ -d '{ "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>" }' \ mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \ yandex.cloud.mdb.mysql.v1.UserService.List
