MySQL Error 1269: Cannot Revoke All User Grants
Description
This error signifies that MySQL was unable to fully revoke all privileges from one or more specified users. It commonly arises when an attempt is made to remove fundamental or implicitly granted privileges, preventing a complete revocation of all access for the user.
Error Message
Can't revoke all privileges for one or more of the requested users
Known Causes
3 known causesImplicit USAGE Privilege
The `USAGE` privilege, which represents the basic ability to connect, is often implicitly granted and may not be fully revocable via a simple `REVOKE ALL` statement.
Protected Internal Users
MySQL might protect certain internal or system-level user accounts from having all their privileges revoked to maintain database integrity and functionality.
Complex Grant Hierarchy
Users with privileges granted at multiple levels (e.g., global and database-specific) or through roles might not have all privileges removed by a single `REVOKE ALL` command.
