Navicat provides Manage Users to add, duplicate, delete users, and edit global user privileges, and grant privileges on the selected databases, tables/views, fields and functions/procedures.
The tree view on the left-hand side displays all the user/host combinations that exist in the user table. The tree view provides a drill down into the db, tables_priv and column_priv tables (see Privileges Provided by MySQL).
