Grant privileges in other table than mysql table I have been requested to create a back-end area for an existing website (on a provider's server), consisting of several tables and php pages. 
This back-end area should not be accessible/visible to our normal website vistors, so a login system (php) has been developed.
I am also expected to be able to grant privileges (select, insert etc.) for those who CAN access this back-end area. However, I have no access to the mysql db on the provider's server.
Is it possible to create and use a separate table for granting privileges on my tables or can privileges only be set in the mysql db itself ?
Any suggestions/help welcome. Thx, LBox
No. Grants are not defined per database (as in mongodb 2.4). mysql database is a centralized system of records for authentication etc... (just like admin database in mongodb 2.6+).

You might want to refer the document for mysql privilege system.
