Microsoft Azure database admin user creation

I deployed azure MySQL 5.7 database in azure. I can’t create another admin user with admin permission with the serveradmin login. When I tried below command GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO ‘sammy’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION; I am getting error serveradmin@ip don’t have enough permissions even though I am user server admin login. Is this because of Microsoft Azure database or is there any workaround to have user with maximum privileges.

Answer

To create another Admin Like user in MySql we use Superuser privilege to get all the access of MySql. But, On Azure Database for MySQL, the SUPER permission is not supported.

As suggested by @Cameron Battagler in GRANT SUPER privilege on Azure Database for MySQL

To work around this, you can create another admin level user with the same rights as the server admin

CREATE  USER  'new_master_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY  'StrongPassword!';
GRANT  SELECT,  INSERT,  UPDATE,  DELETE,  CREATE,  DROP, RELOAD, PROCESS,  REFERENCES,  INDEX,  ALTER,  
SHOW DATABASES,  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES,  EXECUTE,  REPLICATION SLAVE,  REPLICATION CLIENT,  
CREATE  VIEW, SHOW VIEW,  CREATE ROUTINE,  ALTER ROUTINE,  CREATE  USER, EVENT,  
TRIGGER  ON  *.*  TO  'new_master_user'@'%'  WITH  GRANT  OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

USE sys;  
  
SHOW GRANTS FOR  'new_master_user'@'%';
