Please read MySQL 5.7 documentation on CREATE USER and ALTER USER syntax:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-user.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/alter-user.html
(note before/after version 5.7.5/5.7.6 changes)

.. as well as this blog:
http://mysqlblog.fivefarmers.com/2015/04/10/improved-alter-user-syntax-support-in-5-7/
"With changes made in MySQL Server 5.7.6, a better distinction is made
between privilege-level attributes (those which are managed via GRANT and
REVOKE statements) and account-level attributes (those managed using CREATE
USER and ALTER USER statements).  MySQL has a long history of confusing
these – for example, requiring a GRANTcommand to set account resource
limits or require SSL. "

I think this is a very valid observation and thus also change. Does MariaDB
have plans to implement the full CREATE/ALTER USER syntax of MySQL
5.7.5/5.7.6?
