title: MySQL: ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied - Cannot CREATE USER
body: <p>I'm using MySQL 5.5.16 noinstall Zip Archive on Win7.</p>
  
  <p>After I started the server, the command <code>show databases</code> showed me a list of 2 databases: <code>information_schema</code> and <code>test</code>. The latter is empty.</p>
  
  <p>Where is the table <code>user</code>?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to create a new user through this command <code>create user newUser;</code> and got the following error message: <code>ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need (at least one of) the CREATE USER privilege(s) for this operation</code></p>
  
  <p>What should I do to create, databases, tables, and do all the operations I want to do? I don't know if the fact that I'm using <code>MySQL 5.5.16 noinstall Zip Archive</code> has something to do with the error message? </p>
