 # FLUSH PRIVILEGES
 
-The statement `FLUSH PRIVILEGES` instructs TiDB to reload the in-memory copy of privileges from the privilege tables. You must execute this statement after manually editing tables such as `mysql.user`. However, executing this statement is not necessary after using privilege statements like `GRANT` or `REVOKE`. To execute this statement, the `RELOAD` privilege is required.
