MySQL Users
This section lists all your MySQL users and offers options to reset a user's password or delete a user.
Available options on the Users page are:
- Create a new user
- Assign a user to a database
- Remove a user from a database
- Reset a user's password
- Delete a user
Create a New Database User
MySQL users are essential for controlling who can access and interact with your databases, ensuring data security and controlled access to your website's information.
To create a new database user, click on the "New User" button and fill in the name and password for the new user.
Assign a User to a Database
For a MySQL user to be allowed to connect to a database, they need to be added (assigned) to that database. Assigning a user will grant them all privileges over the database. To assign a user to a specific database, click on the "Assign to Database" button and select a username and database.
Remove a User from a Database
To remove a user from a database, simply click on the "Remove from Database" button, and in the new modal, select a username to be removed from a database.
Removing a user will immediately remove all permissions for that user to the database and is useful when you want to temporarily disable a user's access to a database without actually deleting the user.
Change User Password
If you need to change a user's password, simply click on the "Change Password" button next to that user. A modal will appear, and you can insert the new password in the field, then click on the "Change Password" button to save the new password.
Delete User
To delete a MySQL user, click on the delete button next to the user in the Users table:
⚠️ Deleting a MySQL user will immediately remove that user and revoke all privileges to databases.
