Your credentials do not have read permissions

Hi,

I'm just starting with Retool and setting up my first MySQL database. I tested the connection and it's connecting fine, but when I try and save it it prompts me with the error

Saving failed. Your credentials do not have read permissions

Hey @FDG!

Happy to help here! It sounds like this error may be coming from a permissions issue with the database user you are using for this connection.

I also met the same problem with MySQL driver. The connection test is fine.


And the MySQL user's permissions is:
