When root grant all privileges to new user in mysql and report error 'Root is not allowed to grant privileges on a MySQL database'

We should use another way to create user and grant privileges to the newly created user step by step;

The key located at the first step when you create the user,please use  'IDENTIFIED  WITH mysql_native_password' 

 

First create the new user 

CREATE USER 'fred2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '{NewPassword}';

Second show all privileges to the created user

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'fred2'@'localhost';

Third to validate the granted privileges on the created user;

select * from mysql.user where user ='fred2';

select * from mysql.user where user ='fred2';
