<p>MySQL Error 1448: ER_VIEW_OTHER_USER occurs when you create or alter a view whose DEFINER is another account but your session lacks the SUPER privilege. Grant SUPER (or SET_USER_ID) or change the DEFINER to your own account to resolve the error.</p>
You need the SUPER privilege for creation view with
MySQL returns 'Error 1448 (HY000): You need the SUPER privilege for creation view with '%s'@'%s' definer' when a user without sufficient privileges tries to create or alter a view that specifies a different DEFINER.
The server blocks the statement to prevent users from impersonating other accounts. In CI pipelines or restores, this error halts deployments, so fixing it quickly is important.
The DEFINER clause tells MySQL which security context the view will execute under. If that account is not the same as the session user, MySQL requires the creator to hold the SUPER or SET_USER_ID privilege. Without it, Error 1448 is thrown.
The error also appears when the DEFINER user no longer exists, or when restoring a dump produced on another server that includes DEFINER statements referencing remote accounts.
Grant the missing SUPER or SET_USER_ID privilege to the deployment account, or connect as a user that already owns those privileges.
You can also remove or rewrite the DEFINER clause to CURRENT_USER or a valid local account, then rerun the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement.
Schema migrations generated by mysqldump or tools like Flyway often embed production DEFINER accounts. Replace them during build time or use the --skip-definer-option flag.
Local restores from production backups fail because views reference the 'root'@'%' account. Use sed to strip DEFINER clauses or grant SET_USER_ID temporarily.
Check all version controlled DDL into Git with DEFINER=CURRENT_USER to make deployments environment agnostic.
Restrict SUPER to automation accounts, monitor audit logs, and use Galaxy's privilege-aware editor to validate scripts before running in production.
Error 1227 arises for procedures, triggers, or events that need SUPER. Apply the same privilege or alter the DEFINER.
Error 1419 appears when creating triggers on binary logged servers without SUPER. Grant the privilege or use row-based replication.
mysqldump includes the original DEFINER clause, causing Error 1448 when restored by another account.
The deployment or application account lacks SUPER or SET_USER_ID, so MySQL blocks the CREATE VIEW statement.
The user specified in the DEFINER clause was dropped, making the view impossible to recreate without SUPER.
Moving data from production to staging exposes differing privilege sets and triggers the error.
Raised when creating triggers, procedures, or events without sufficient rights.
Occurs when creating triggers under statement based logging without SUPER.
Indicates the account lacks generic CREATE privilege on the database.
Yes. Rewrite the view with DEFINER=CURRENT_USER or drop the DEFINER clause entirely so SUPER is not required.
SET_USER_ID became available in MySQL 8.0.28. Granting it lets a user create views for other accounts without full SUPER.
The dump file contained DEFINER accounts that do not exist or are unauthorized on the target server.
Galaxy's editor displays the DEFINER clause inline, warns about privilege mismatches, and lets you test scripts against the connected database before deployment.
