MySQL Error 1370: Routine Access Denied
Description
This error indicates that a specific command (like CALL, ALTER, or DROP) on a stored routine (procedure or function) was denied to a MySQL user. It typically occurs when the connected user lacks the necessary privileges to perform the requested action on that particular routine.
Error Message
%s command denied to user '%s'@'%s' for routine '%s'
Known Causes
3 known causesMissing EXECUTE Privilege
The user account lacks the `EXECUTE` privilege required to run the stored procedure or function.
Insufficient Routine Management Privileges
The user attempted to `ALTER` or `DROP` a routine without the `ALTER ROUTINE` or `DROP` privileges.
Host-Specific Privilege Mismatch
The user is connecting from a host for which the required privileges have not been granted, or the grant is specific to a different host.
Solutions
4 solutions available1. Grant Execute Privilege on Specific Routine easy
Grant the necessary EXECUTE privilege to the user for the specific stored procedure or function.
1
Connect to your MySQL server as a user with sufficient privileges (e.g., root).
2
Execute the following SQL command, replacing placeholders with your actual values:
GRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE `database_name`.`routine_name` TO 'user_name'@'host_name';3
If the routine is a function, use `FUNCTION` instead of `PROCEDURE`:
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION `database_name`.`routine_name` TO 'user_name'@'host_name';4
Flush privileges to ensure the changes take effect immediately.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;2. Grant All Privileges on the Database medium
Grant all privileges on the database containing the routine to the user.
1
Connect to your MySQL server as a user with sufficient privileges (e.g., root).
2
Execute the following SQL command, replacing placeholders with your actual values:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `database_name`.* TO 'user_name'@'host_name';3
Flush privileges to ensure the changes take effect immediately.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;3. Review and Adjust User Privileges medium
Examine the user's existing privileges and grant the EXECUTE privilege if it's missing, or grant broader privileges if appropriate.
1
Connect to your MySQL server as a user with sufficient privileges (e.g., root).
2
Show the current privileges for the affected user:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user_name'@'host_name';3
Analyze the output. If you don't see `EXECUTE` privilege for the specific routine or database, you'll need to grant it.
4
If the user needs to execute multiple routines in a database, you can grant EXECUTE on all routines in that database:
GRANT EXECUTE ON `database_name`.* TO 'user_name'@'host_name';5
Alternatively, grant EXECUTE on a specific routine as shown in Solution 1.
6
Flush privileges after making changes.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;4. Verify User and Hostname Combination easy
Ensure the user account and hostname combination being used to connect to MySQL is correct and has privileges assigned.
1
Identify the exact username and hostname reported in the error message (e.g., '%s'@'%s').
2
Connect to your MySQL server as a user with sufficient privileges (e.g., root).
3
Check if a user account exists for that exact username and hostname combination:
SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'user_name' AND host = 'host_name';4
If the user/host combination does not exist or has insufficient privileges, grant the necessary permissions (refer to Solutions 1, 2, or 3).
5
If the user is connecting from a wildcard host (e.g., '%'), ensure they have the appropriate privileges for that wildcard.
6
Flush privileges after any adjustments.
