GRANT ALL ON jbossportal.* TO 'portalUser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'portualUser_password'; (where the last parameter is the password for portalUser) and then GRANT ALL ON jbossportal.* TO 'portalUser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'portualUser_password'; Finally, you need to Flush privileges; before you exit MySQL for them to take affect.
