Actually, maybe it didn't work. What's wrong with this picture...

This worked. Thank You Chris!
One problem remains. The "select" user can also create tables, and then insert into them. Need to prevent "select" user from being able to create tables. When "select" user was created, no privs given to it...

Your immediate problem is that sde is a database, not a schema.
They're different things, despite MySQL conflating the terms.
What you're trying to do is a perfectly reasonable way to create a backup user. And it's definitely possible; check out ALTER DEFAULT
PRIVILEGES:
I think that's what you need there!
