Dear Cloud SQL users,

As of July 30, we are removing the SUPER privilege for Cloud SQL users which gives accounts the ability to kill threads belonging to other accounts and to make various configuration changes. More information is available in the MySQL documentation.

We are doing this because Cloud SQL is a managed service and this is a little used feature, and removing it will also enable us to offer additional features that will make the Cloud SQL service more powerful and easier to use. However, some users might be using MySQL features that require SUPER privilege. If that is the case we would like to hear from you, so that we can find workarounds or other solutions.

Thanks,

Joe Faith
