MySQLConnector error while logged in as user

I can run queries on my DB when logged in as admin but when logged in as a user I get the following error:
"PARSER: Applying intentions failed operation 'mysqlquery' is unknown. You might not have permission to run this operation."

I have granted read/write permission to everyone for the db connector and for the query itself.

What permissions needed to be granted to the user group to allow them to use MySQLConnector?

You need to give permission to the "mysqlquery" commmand itself to the users/groups. There may be other items as well, but that is what the error message is complaining about. You can find the item under "Manager>Advanced Search>Search Commands".
