Within phpMyAdmin, administrators have full +control over creating users, viewing and editing privileges for existing users, +and removing users. + +Within phpMyAdmin, user management is controlled via the :guilabel:`Users` link +from the main page. Users can be created, edited, and removed. + +Creating a new user +------------------- + +To create a new user, click the :guilabel:`Add a new user` link near the bottom +of the :guilabel:`Users` page (you must be a "superuser", e.g., user "root"). +Use the textboxes and drop-downs to configure the user to your particular +needs. You can then select whether to create a database for that user and grant +specific global privileges. Once you've created the user (by clicking Go), you +can define that user's permissions on a specific database (don't grant global +privileges in that case). In general, users do not need any global privileges +(other than USAGE), only permissions for their specific database. + +Editing an existing user +------------------------ + +To edit an existing user, simply click the pencil icon to the right of that +user in the :guilabel:`Users` page. You can then edit their global- and +database-specific privileges, change their password, or even copy those +privileges to a new user. + +Deleting a user +--------------- + +From the :guilabel:`Users` page, check the checkbox for the user you wish to +remove, select whether or not to also remove any databases of the same name (if +they exist), and click Go. + +Assigning privileges to user for a specific database +---------------------------------------------------- + +Users are assigned to databases by editing the user record (from the +:guilabel:`Users` link on the home page) not from within the :guilabel:`Users` +link under the table. If you are creating a user specifically for a given table +you will have to create the user first (with no global privileges) and then go +back and edit that user to add the table and privileges for the individual +table. |
