'''Summary''': This article tells you how to reduce the database user privileges in existing Open-Xchange installations to those at least required ones. Changing the existing <code>ALL PRIVILEDGES</code> to the provided minimum set will have no implications for running the server.
 
The minimum required set of privileges is: CREATE, LOCK TABLES, REFERENCES, INDEX, DROP, DELETE, ALTER, SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, SHOW VIEW, ALTER ROUTINE, CREATE ROUTINE, EXECUTE and SHOW DATABASES.
 
__TOC__
 
== Change of existing privileges ==
1. Login to master mysql database using root user.
 
2. Detect the existing Open-Xchange users: <code><pre>SELECT USER,HOST FROM mysql.user;</pre></code>
 
The output will look like outlined in the following table:
 
<code><pre>
+------------------+-----------+
| user            | host      |
+------------------+-----------+
| openexchange    | %        |
| root            | 127.0.0.1 |
</pre></code>
 
In this case the user for all additional processings is 'openexchange'@'%' and will be used for the description below.
 
3. Detect all existing privileges for the Open-Xchange user above: <code><pre>SHOW GRANTS FOR 'openexchange'@'%';</pre></code>
 
The output will look like outlined in the following table. If the output is extremly different the user already has got limited privileges.
 
<code><pre>
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for openexchange@%                                                                        |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'openexchange'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
                                                        '*ef14c45205444fdd47b6c1d88b74e1345fd0c394' |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0,00 sec)
</pre></code>
 
4. Revoke all existing privileges for the Open-Xchange user above. Be careful to use the database@host pattern provided by the output from #3 (in this case *.*): <code><pre>REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* FROM 'openexchange'@'%';</pre></code>
 
Hint: This must be executed for each database@hostname combination displayed in #3 (normally just *.*). Without revoking privileges you will have duplicates.
 
5. Create new privileges: <code><pre>GRANT CREATE, LOCK TABLES, REFERENCES, INDEX, DROP, DELETE, ALTER, SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, SHOW VIEW, ALTER ROUTINE, CREATE ROUTINE, SHOW DATABASES, EXECUTE ON *.* TO 'openexchange'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<YOUR_DB_PASS>' WITH GRANT OPTION;</pre></code>
 
6. Write the privileges: <code><pre>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;</pre></code>
 
7. The changes of the privileges are noticed by the server so that the grant tables are loaded into memory again immediately after the change. You do not have to restart mysql.
 
8. Execute

DB-User Privileges

The content on this page has moved to https://documentation.open-xchange.com/7.10.2/middleware/administration/db_user_privileges.html.

Note: Open-Xchange is in the process of migrating all its technical documentation to a new and improved documentation system (https://documentation.open-xchange.com). Please note as the migration takes place more information will be available on the new system and less on this system. Thank you for your understanding during this period of transition.
