Mysql revoking permisions

Question

I was making a SQL file on MySQL as part of a school asignement and I think I got everyting right but a part where it specifies my to create an user an then revoke all permission from him

All sources I have found use something like

CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS user; REVOKE ALL ON *.* FROM user;

or

CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS user; REVOKE ALL ON *.* TO USER user;

But both return a systax error in the "FROM/TO" saying that a EOF is expected and I don't even know what is that; am I doing something wrong here?

Should I refer to something first, separate the code sentence or what am I missing?

Seems like a pretty easy task to do and the rest of the code is working, but that error is driving me crazy

Answer 1

This syntax drops all global, database, table, column, and routine privileges for the named users or roles:

REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION
  FROM user;
