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;

Answer 2

In command prompt

mysql -h host -u username -p

Form mysql documentation:

shell> mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name

Then type an SQL statement, end it with “;”, \g, or \G and press Enter.
