Description
Change Request
- Describe what you find is inappropriate or missing in the existing docs.
The current migration documentation focuses on migrating data from MySQL but doesn't include user accounts and grants.
- Describe your suggestion or addition.
With a tool like pt-show-grants accounts can be dumped from MySQL, which can then be imported in MySQL.
Currently accounts with caching_sha2_password in the mysql.user table on MySQL 8.0 are not supported ( https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/9411 )
