How can I give CREATE USER and GRANT privileges to an user in MySQL?

Question

I created a new user called Hamza in localhost then I tried to give it these 2 privileges: CREATE USER GRANT For the creation everything is OK, but when it comes to granting the privileges I tried this query : GRANT CREATE USER TO 'Hamza'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; And I got this error : ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TO 'Hamza'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION' at line 1 Could someone tell me how can I correct this syntax error ?

Answer 1

You are missing the ON object_name here in your GRANT statement like GRANT CREATE USER ON *.* TO 'Hamza'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
