1. First of all, create a new mysql user:

mysql -u root -p
create user 'olyanren'@'%' identified by '123456';
grant all priviliges on *.* to 'olyanren'@'%' with grant option;

Note: Change olyanren username and password 123456. Also note that don't delete single quotas.

The key point is wildcard (%). By using wildcard, we give olyanren user an access right to connect from any host.

select user, host from mysql.user;
