Here are step-by-step instructions for creating a new MySQL user with admin privileges and granting access to a specific database in a Linux environment:

Creating a New MySQL Admin User in Linux

Open a terminal and log into your MySQL server as the root user:
```
mysql -u root -p
```
Enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
Once logged into the MySQL shell, create a new user with the following command:
```
CREATE USER 'maiken'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
```
Replace 'your_password' with a strong password for the new user.
Grant the new user administrative privileges on the specific database maikenslowyouio by running the following command:
```
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON maikenslowyouio.* TO 'maiken'@'localhost';
```
This grants the maiken user full privileges on the maikenslowyouio database and all its tables.
Flush the privileges to ensure the changes take effect immediately:
```
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
```
Exit the MySQL shell:
```
EXIT;
```
Test the new user's access by logging into MySQL with the new credentials:
```
mysql -u maiken -p
```
Enter the password you set for the miken user when prompted.
Once logged in, switch to the maikenslowyouio database:
```
USE maikenslowyouio;
```
Verify that the user has access to the database by running a simple command, such as:
```
SHOW TABLES;
```
This will display the list of tables in the maikenslowyouio database.

You should now have a new MySQL user named miken with full administrative privileges on the maikenslowyouio database. The user can log in from the localhost and manage the specified database[1][4][6].

Remember to use strong, unique passwords for your MySQL users to ensure the security of your databases[1][4].

It's important to grant privileges specific to the user's requirements and avoid granting unnecessary privileges to minimize security risks[4][6]. Regularly review and update user privileges as needed.

By following these steps, you can create a new MySQL admin user with access to a specific database in a Linux environment, allowing for secure and controlled management of your MySQL databases[1][3][4][6].
