 ## Engine
 
 If you are using a version of MySQL where MyISAM is the default engine, you must specify `ENGINE = InnoDB;` when you create a table. If you introspect a database that uses a different engine, relations in the Prisma Schema are not created (or lost, if the relation already existed).
+
+## Permissions
+
+A fresh new installation of MySQL/MariaDB has by default only a `root` database user. Do not use `root` user in your Prisma configuration, but instead create a database and database user for each application. On most Linux hosts (e.g. Ubuntu) you can simply run this as the Linux `root` user (which automatically has database `root` access as well):
+
+```
+mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS $DB_PRISMA;"
+mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $DB_PRISMA.* TO $DB_USER@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '$DB_PASSWORD';"
+```
+
+The above is enough to run the `prisma db pull` and `prisma db push` commands. In order to also run `prisma migrate` commands these permissions need to be granted:
+
+```
+mysql -e "GRANT CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES, ALTER ON *.* TO $DB_USER@'%';"
+```

+MySQL/MariaDB, and the underlying InnoDB storage engine, does not support `SetDefault`. The exact behavior depends on the database version:
 
 - In MySQL versions 8 and later, and MariaDB versions 10.5 and later, `SetDefault` effectively acts as an alias for `NoAction`. You can define tables using the `SET DEFAULT` referential action, but a foreign key constraint error is triggered at runtime.
 - In MySQL versions 5.6 and later, and MariaDB versions before 10.5, attempting to create a table definition with the `SET DEFAULT` referential action fails with a syntax error.
