This assume you are able to log into your MariaDB or mySQL server or you have configured passwordless authentication and will be using the -e command line option. The SELECT statement can be used to view a users privileges.

 mysql -e "select * from mysql.user \G"

Something like this should be returned. In this example, 'john.doe'@'localhost' only has the SELECT privilege.

                  Host: localhost
                  User: john.doe
              Password: *abc123
