Select the columns from the user table to see what they are called. Then you'll know what the previleges are that correspond to a column having a "y" in it. The answer partly depends on what version of MySQL you're using. Use a tool such as phpMyAdmin to help make things easier.

For instance, here's an example of an MySQL v4.0.20a-nt user table dumped using phpMyAdmin:

-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 2.6.1
-- [a href=\"http://www.phpmyadmin.net\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.phpmyadmin.net[/a]

-- Host: localhost
-- Generation Time: Apr 25, 2006 at 07:41 PM
-- Server version: 4.0.20
-- PHP Version: 4.3.11

-- Database: `mysql`
