salt.states.mysql_grants¶

Management of MySQL grants (user permissions)¶

depends:	MySQLdb Python module
configuration:	See `salt.modules.mysql` for setup instructions.

The mysql_grants module is used to grant and revoke MySQL permissions.

The name you pass in purely symbolic and does not have anything to do with the grant itself.

The database parameter needs to specify a 'priv_level' in the same specification as defined in the MySQL documentation:

*
*.*
db_name.*
db_name.tbl_name
etc...

frank_exampledb:
   mysql_grants.present:
    - grant: select,insert,update
    - database: exampledb.*
    - user: frank
    - host: localhost

frank_otherdb:
  mysql_grants.present:
    - grant: all privileges
    - database: otherdb.*
    - user: frank

restricted_singletable:
  mysql_grants.present:
    - grant: select
    - database: somedb.sometable
    - user: joe

salt.states.mysql_grants.absent(name, grant=None, database=None, user=None, host='localhost', grant_option=False, escape=True, **connection_args)¶

Ensure that the grant is absent

name: The name (key) of the grant to add
grant: The grant priv_type (i.e. select,insert,update OR all privileges)
database: The database priv_level (i.e. db.tbl OR db.*)
user: The user to apply the grant to
host: The network/host that the grant should apply to

salt.states.mysql_grants.present(name, grant=None, database=None, user=None, host='localhost', grant_option=False, escape=True, revoke_first=False, ssl_option=False, **connection_args)¶

Ensure that the grant is present with the specified properties

name

The name (key) of the grant to add

grant

The grant priv_type (i.e. select,insert,update OR all privileges)

database

The database priv_level (i.e. db.tbl OR db.*)

user

The user to apply the grant to

host

The network/host that the grant should apply to

grant_option

Adds the WITH GRANT OPTION to the defined grant. Default is False

escape

Defines if the database value gets escaped or not. Default is True

revoke_first

By default, MySQL will not do anything if you issue a command to grant privileges that are more restrictive than what's already in place. This effectively means that you cannot downgrade permissions without first revoking permissions applied to a db.table/user pair first.

To have Salt forcibly revoke perms before applying a new grant, enable the 'revoke_first options.

WARNING: This will remove permissions for a database before attempting to apply new permissions. There is no guarantee that new permissions will be applied correctly which can leave your database security in an unknown and potentially dangerous state. Use with caution!

Default is False

ssl_option

Adds the specified ssl options for the connecting user as requirements for this grant. Value is a list of single-element dicts corresponding to the list of ssl options to use.

Possible key/value pairings for the dicts in the value:

- SSL: True
- X509: True
- SUBJECT: <subject>
- ISSUER: <issuer>
- CIPHER: <cipher>

The non-boolean ssl options take a string as their values, which should be an appropriate value as specified by the MySQL documentation for these options.

Default is False (no ssl options will be used)
