FLUSH PRIVILEGES

The statement FLUSH PRIVILEGES instructs TiDB to reload the in-memory copy of privileges from the privilege tables. You must execute this statement after manually editing tables such as mysql.user. However, executing this statement is not necessary after using privilege statements like GRANT or REVOKE. To execute this statement, the RELOAD privilege is required.
