Question

I’m using the following command

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'ip' 
IDENTIFIED BY 'password' 
WITH GRANT OPTION;

To grant all privileges to a user. Is there a way I can make the ip a wildcard like 192.168.1.* so that I don’t need to manually add each LAN ip I want give the user access to connect from?

Answer 1

Yes, use % in an address.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'192.168.1.%' 
IDENTIFIED BY 'password' 
WITH GRANT OPTION;

Or you can use less restrictive host name and allow user to connect from everywhere.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'%' 
IDENTIFIED BY 'password' 
WITH GRANT OPTION;
