How to temporarily disable a MySQL user?

+1
−1

Sometimes I will need to temporarily lock out other MySQL users when I am making large structure changes and want to make sure that nobody else is inputting or changing the data. The other use case is temporarily locking out a single user if you are sure if that user is being used anymore.

How can I do this without changing the passwords or permissions?

The title sounds like you want to disable a specific user, but the body sounds like you want to disable "everyone but me". Is the latter correct?

@Monica I mean the solution works regardless of whether you are disabling a bunch or just one user
