Condition or Error
When configuring a connector to use SmartScale, you receive an error indicating users do not ave the required repl_client privilege despite the privilege being granted via a Role (New in MySQL 8.0)
Causes
Known issue occuring in all versions that support MySQL 8.0. This is due to tpm not aware of Roles, and therefore unable to determine that privileges have been grated in this way.
Rectifications
Providing you are certain the correct privileges have been granted, you can simply instruct tpm to ignore this particulare validate check by adding the following option to your configuration:
skip-validation-check=MySQLConnectorPermissionsCheck
