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.
