 Refer to [TidbInitializer example](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/blob/master/manifests/initializer/tidb-initializer.yaml), [API documentation](api-references.md), and the following steps to complete TidbInitializer Custom Resource (CR), and save it to the `${cluster_name}/tidb-initializer.yaml` file. Please switch the TidbInitializer example and API documentation to the currently used version of TiDB Operator.

     This command creates `root` and `developer` users with their passwords, which are saved in the `tidb-secret` object. By default, the regular `developer` user is only granted with the `USAGE` privilege. You can set other privileges in the `initSql` configuration item.

 To set a host that has access to TiDB, modify the `permitHost: ${mysql_client_host_name}` configuration item in `${cluster_name}/tidb-initializer.yaml`. If it is not set, all hosts have access to TiDB. For details, refer to [Mysql GRANT host name](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html).

 The cluster can also automatically execute the SQL statements in batch in `initSql` during the initialization. This function can be used to create some databases or tables for the cluster and perform user privilege management operations.
