Scaleway Privileges API

Privileges are permissions that can be granted to database users. You can manage user permissions either via the console, the Scaleway APIs or SQL. Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL provides a simplified and unified permission model through the API and the console to make things easier to manage and understand. Each user has associated permissions that give them access to zero or more logical databases. These include: * **None:** No access to the database * **Read:** Allow users to read tables and fields in a database * **Write:** Allow users to write content in databases. * **Admin:** Read and write access to the data, and extended privileges depending on the database engine.

  title: Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL Access Control List Privileges API
  description: "Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL provides fully-managed relational Database Instances, with MySQL or PostgreSQL as database engines. The resource allows you to focus on development rather than administration or configuration. It comes with a high-availability mode, data replication, and automatic backups.\n\nCompared to traditional database management, which requires customers to provide their infrastructure and resources to manage their databases, Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL Instance offers the user access to Database Instances without setting up the hardware or configuring the software. Scaleway handles the provisioning, manages the configuration, and provides useful features as high availability, automated backup, user management, and more.\n\n\n\n\n## Concepts\n\nRefer to our [dedicated concepts page](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/concepts/) to find definitions of the different terms referring to Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL.\n\n\n\n\n## Quickstart\n\n1. Configure your environment variables.\n    <Message type=\"note\">\n    This is an optional step that seeks to simplify your usage of the APIs.\n    </Message>\n\n    ```bash\n    export SCW_ACCESS_KEY=\"<API access key>\"\n    export SCW_SECRET_KEY=\"<API secret key>\"\n    export SCW_REGION=\"<Scaleway region>\"\n    ```\n2. Edit the POST request payload you will use to create your Database Instance. Replace the parameters in the following example:\n    ```json\n      '{\n      \"project_id\": \"d8e65f2b-cce9-40b7-80fc-6a2902db6826\",\n      \"name\": \"myDB\",\n      \"engine\": \"PostgreSQL-15\",\n      \"tags\": [\"donnerstag\"],\n      \"is_ha_cluster\": true,\n      \"node_type\": \"db-pro2-xxs\",\n      \"disable_backup\": false,\n      \"user_name\": \"my_initial_user\",\n      \"password\": \"thiZ_is_v0ry_s3cret\",\n      \"volume_type\": \"sbs_5k\",\n      \"volume_size\": \"30000000000\"\n      }'\n    ```\n\n    | Parameter        | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |\n    | :--------------- |:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n    | `project_id`     | The ID of the Project you want to create your Database Instance in.

Retrieve your Database Instance IP and port from the response.\n    <Message type=\"note\">\n    In the example above, the IP and port are `198.51.100.0` and `22245`, respectively.\n    </Message>\n6. Connect to your Database Instance with the database client of the engine you selected.\n    For MySQL, run the following command:\n    ```bash\n    mysql -h <ip-address> --port <port> -p -u <user_name>\n    ```\n\n    For PostgreSQL, run:\n    ```bash\n    psql -h <ip-address> -p <port> -U <username> -d rdb\n    ```\n\n    For the recurring example, the command would look like:\n\n    ```bash\n    psql -h 198.51.100.0 -p 22245 -U my_initial_user -d rdb\n    ```\n7. Enter the database password that you defined upon creation.\n\nYou are now connected to your Managed Database.\n\n\n<Message type=\"requirement\">\nTo perform the following steps, you must first ensure that:\n  - you have an account and are logged into the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com/organization)\n  - you have created an [API key](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/iam/how-to/create-api-keys/) and that the API key has sufficient [IAM permissions](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/iam/reference-content/permission-sets/) to perform the actions described on this page.\n  - you have [installed `curl`](https://curl.se/download.html)\n</Message>\n\n\n## Technical Information\n\n### Regions\n\nScaleway's infrastructure is spread across different [regions and Availability Zones](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/account/reference-content/products-availability/).\n\nManaged Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL is available in the Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw regions, which are represented by the following path parameters:\n\n- `fr-par`\n- `nl-ams`\n- `pl-waw`\n\n### PostgreSQL specifications\n\n#### Versions\n\nScaleway Database for PostgreSQL supports PostgreSQL versions 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.\n\n#### System\n\nDifferent modules are available for installation, including TimescaleDB and PostGIS. Refer to the [Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL FAQ page](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/faq/#which-postgresql-extensions-are-available) for an extensive list of PostgreSQL extensions.\n\n#### Database Management\n\nYou can create logical databases through the Scaleway console, the Scaleway APIs or SQL.\n\n- databases created using the Scaleway console or the API are owned by an internal system user. These are called \"managed databases\".\n- databases created using SQL will be owned by the creator. These are called \"unmanaged databases\".\n\n### MySQL specifications\n\n#### Versions\n\nScaleway Database for MySQL supports MySQL 8.\n\n#### System\n\n- only the [InnoDB engine](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-storage-engine.html) is supported\n- the [Global Transaction Identifier (GTID)](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-gtids-concepts.html) is enabled.\n- [`mysql_native_password`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/native-pluggable-authentication.html) (default) and [`caching_sha2_password`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html) authentication are supported.\n\n#### User Management\n\n- users with an `admin` role have access to all logical databases and can create new ones.\n- users created via the API are authenticated using the default authentication plugin, which can be changed in the settings.\n\n## Technical Limitations\n\n### PostgreSQL\n\n#### User Management\n\n- users with an `admin` role have `CREATEROLE` and `CREATEDB` privileges.\n- users do NOT have `SUPERUSER` nor `REPLICATION` privileges.\n- permission management through the Scaleway console or API is only possible for the \"managed databases\".\n\n#### Backup and restoration\n\nDatabases that have been backed up and then restored retain the user permission settings in use at the time of backup. If you delete users after backup and then restore your backup in the same database, or if you restore a backup to a different database with different or no users, the permissions configured for them continue to exist, but with no associated owner. This error will put a stop to the restoration process.\n\nTo avoid this issue, we recommend you re-create the users you deleted. In the occasion you restore the backup to a new database, you must create new users with the same names.\n\n## Going Further\n\nFor more information about Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL, you can check out the following pages:\n\n* [Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL Documentation](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases/postgresql-and-mysql/)\n* [Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL FAQ](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/faq/)\n* [Scaleway Slack Community](https://scaleway-community.slack.com/) join the #database channel\n* [Contact our support team](https://console.scaleway.com/support/tickets)\n\n### How to migrate a database\n\nIf you wish to migrate existing databases to a Managed Database for PostgreSQL or MySQL, you can refer to the [Migrating existing databases to a Database Instance](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/tutorials/migrate-databases-instance/) tutorial page.\n\n### Troubleshoooting\n\n#### Disk full status\n\nIf your Database Instance uses local storage, your local volume might eventually approach full capacity and shift to `disk_full` mode. This mode grants you enough space to either [upgrade your node type](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/how-to/upgrade-version/#how-to-change-the-node-type) or [clear out space in your volume](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/troubleshooting/disk-full/)."
