Received Access Denied; You Need (At Least One Of) The Super Privileges(S) For This Operation- What Can Be Done Now?
I have made a user and offered privileges to the user1.
Grant all privileges on db1.*to user1@’%’ with grant option’ Am using mysql workbench to import dumps to the database. On importing dumps to database db1, I receive the following error message:
ERROR 1227 (42000) at line 49: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operationEvery table is imported successfully in the dumps. However the error is seen while importing routines to the database. What’s wrong with the privilege provided to user1?
The super privilege is a universal privilege and not any database level privilege. On creating the user with grant all privileges on db1.* to user1@'%' with grant option; the table mysql.user was populated with user=’user1’ and host=’%’. The different columns were set to default to N. The table is given below:
mysql> desc mysql.user;

Super_priv appears right after Show_db_priv.
The database level privileges got populated into mysql.db. Here is it:

Super privilege is not present in mysql.db.
To visualize this in pure SQL terms, login as user1 and run SHOW GRANTS; The output will have two lines:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO user1@'%' ...
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db1.* TO user1@'%' ...
There is a hack you can try but I normally would not recommend it.
STEP 01) Login to mysql as root@localhost (should have all privs)
STEP 02) Run this query
UPDATE mysql.user SET Super_Priv='Y' WHERE user='user1' AND host='%';
STEP 03) Run this query
