Mark J Nijland: "I have used the trial versions of your software for a couple of days now. It has been one of those increasingly rare experiences. They simply work, have rich feature sets, are superbly designed, and exceed my highest expectations".
Torstein Krogh: "Some time ago, I tested all available tools on the market for maintaining MySQL and MySQL Maestro came up on top. My opinion is that MySQL should offer it as a free tool for all paying customers! They have nothing today, and doing MySQL DOS commands is not getting any new customers".

Roles

A role bundles a number of privileges together. It assists larger organizations where, typically, a number of users would have the same privileges, and, previously, the only way to change the privileges for a group of users was by changing each user's privileges individually.

 

Alternatively, multiple external users could have been assigned the same user, and there would have been no way to see which actual user was responsible for which action.

 

With roles, managing this is easy. For example, there could be a number of users assigned to a journalist role, with identical privileges. Changing the privileges for all the journalists is a matter of simply changing the role's privileges, while the individual user is still linked with any changes that take place.

 

Roles are supported as of MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.0.5.
