Answer 1

you can create different user and add different privileges to user as below:

CREATE USER 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY
PASSWORD '*AAB3E285149C0135D51A520E1940DD3263DC008C';

GRANT SELECT ON database_name.table_name TO 'username'@'%';

And use below command to log in:

mysql -uusername -ppassword databasename;
