Bug #22777	CREATE_USER_PRIV doesnt work (?)
Submitted:	28 Sep 2006 11:49	Modified:	28 Oct 2006 11:59

Version:	5.0.22-mac	OS:	MacOS (OS X 10.4.7)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Looks like CREATE_USER_PRIV doesnt work. If this is expected, then i was unable to find anything in docs, so this might be a documentation issue. Or this privilege is not about creating users? (docs are very short about its meaning)

How to repeat:
Let me just paste a cli log

vkolesn-macmini:~/co/common vlad$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -uroot --host=localhost
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> select * from mysql.user where user='root' and host = 'localhost' \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                 Host: localhost
                 User: root
             Password: 
          Select_priv: Y
...
 <all privileges = Y>

     Create_user_priv: N

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with a newer version of MySQL server, 5.0.24a, and send the reults of

select current_user(), user();

from the same session where you executed CREATE USER.

Try the other way around - all privileges 'N', Create_user_priv='Y'
