Error description:
Error 3631 (ER_CMD_NEED_SUPER) occurs when an action is attempted by a user that requires SUPER privileges and the user does not have those privileges. The statement to produce the error is usually issued by the user and was intended to require privileges that the user does not have.
Common cases:
The most common cause of Error 3631 (ER_CMD_NEED_SUPER) is when a user attempts to set global system options or perform certain DDL operations such as creating databases or tables. This error can also occur if a user is attempting to access a database hosted on another server, as the setup process for that connection may also require SUPER privileges.
Resolution:
Error 3631 (ER_CMD_NEED_SUPER) can be fixed by granting the user the necessary SUPER privileges with the GRANT command or by having the user that is performing the action switch to a user that does have the necessary access. It is important to note that the SUPER privilege should only be granted to trusted users, as it gives them unrestricted access to the system.
