Are you asking to downgrade privileges of an admin user in Linux, or create a MySQL account for your admin?

Most people would use chown if they are changing Linux permissions, or something like the below command if they are doing it in MySQL.

Code: Select all

mysql> GRANT ALL ON example_database.* TO 'example_user'@'%';
SOURCE

It would probably be something like the following.

Code: Select all

REVOKE role FROM user;

Are you trying to change permissions in MySQL or Linux?

In that case, dropping the role entirely may be quickest way to go about this.

Code: Select all

DROP ROLE 'app_read', 'app_write';
Please see the documentation for more information about revoking roles in MySQL.

Normally, it's not necessary to change these settings when managing Nagios XI, I would recommend backing the server up before you make any changes.
