https://mariadb.com/kb/en/create-user/#authentication-options The documentation makes references to mysql.user when instead mysql.global_priv should be mentioned. All references to mysql.user should be renamed to mysql.global_priv where appropriate, or a note to show the version differences. For example: The optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a password. The password should be specified in plain text. It will be hashed by the PASSWORD function prior to being stored to the mysql.user table. This should mention mysql.global_priv. |

or perhaps not mentioning either, we could leave CREATE USER page as a totally user construct and not describe the underlying aspects here. |

danblack I think it's important to mention the impact on the mysql tables for completeness |
