### Purpose

In MySQL, the objective is to grant \[username] read access to specific schemas without modification rights. This MySQL account is solely needed for connecting and retrieving data securely.&#x20;

### Grant Permissions&#x20;

```mysql
GRANT SELECT ON performance_schema .* TO ’[ username ]’@’%’;
```

Schema can differ; performance\_schema is an example. The only need is for this MySQL account to connect.&#x20;
