Syntax:
CREATE USER user_specification
    [, user_specification] ...

user_specification:
    user [IDENTIFIED BY [PASSWORD] 'password']

The CREATE USER statement creates new MySQL accounts. To use it, you
must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the INSERT privilege for
the mysql database. For each account, CREATE USER creates a new row in
the mysql.user table and assigns the account no privileges. An error
occurs if the account already exists.

Each account name uses the format described in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/account-names.html. For example:

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';

If you specify only the user name part of the account name, a host name
part of '%' is used.

The user specification may indicate how the user should authenticate
when connecting to the server:

o To enable the user to connect with no password (which is insecure),
  include no IDENTIFIED BY clause:

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost';

o To assign a password, use IDENTIFIED BY with the literal plaintext
  password value:

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';

o To avoid specifying the plaintext password if you know its hash value
  (the value that PASSWORD() would return for the password), specify
  the hash value preceded by the keyword PASSWORD:

CREATE USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*90E462C37378CED12064BB3388827D2BA3A9B689';
