SET PASSWORD

Syntax

SET PASSWORD FOR 'username'@'host' = PASSWORD('password')

Remarks

• 'password' is a clear-text password. The PASSWORD function creates a hash of the clear-text password and assigns it to the user.

• This command allows users to change their own password. You can change another user’s password with this command if you have SUPERor ALTER USER privileges.

• This command only changes the user’s password for that specific node, not for every node in the workspace.

• Refer to the Permission Matrix for the required permission.

Examples

SET PASSWORD FOR 'joe'@'%' = PASSWORD('securePass');

To unset a password:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'joe'@'%' = PASSWORD('');
