How It Affects Your App
MySQL 1700 ER_GRANT_PLUGIN_USER_EXISTS indicates that a user already exists with the same name as the one being created. This can cause issues with the application as it may not be able to create the user, or it may create a duplicate user with the same name. This can lead to confusion and data integrity issues, as the application may not be able to differentiate between the two users. It can also lead to security issues, as the application may not be able to properly authenticate the user.
