These options affect the interface of the User Administration section of MySQL Administrator.
Show Global Privileges
: If checked, the
Global
Privileges tab will be visible in the
User
Administration section. In that tab, you can grant
users global privileges (as opposed to privileges on a
database, table, or column level only). This may affect
security. See
The
MySQL Access Privilege System for details. If
unchecked, the
Global
Privileges tab will not be visible in the
User
Administration section.
Show Table/Column Privileges
: In most
situations, it is sufficient to grant either global or
database privileges for users. You can hide the
Table/Column
Privileges tab in the
User
Administration section by enabling this checkbox.
