Securich

If you're looking for an open source and highly versatile tool for managing user privileges on MySQL, then look no further than Securich. It's an incredibly handy tool that simplifies the process of granting and revoking rights. What's even better is that it provides added security through password expiry and password history.

The customization level that Securich permits is impressive. You'll find that it runs smoothly on any MySQL 5.0 or later and is easily deployable on any official MySQL binary. It's also completely platform independent, making it a great option for all users.

Securich is essentially a package that consists of a database named securich containing a bunch of tables used by a group of stored procedures to handle roles for you. The fact is that roles have been implemented in other database technologies, such as Oracle, SQL Server, and Sybase, for a long time now. However, MySQL hasn't caught up with them yet on that respect. This void in the area inspired the start of SecuRich.

In summary, Securich is a powerful and easy to use tool that's perfect for anyone who needs to manage user privileges on MySQL. It's packed with features, provides added security and is incredibly customizable. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!
