Overview
The following describes how you can add or delete a database user in the DreamHost panel.
How to manage database users
Databases are created with a single username assigned to manage them. You can create new users who can access the database or delete existing users who are no longer needed.
Adding a new database user
Database user names must be unique across all DreamHost accounts. You must choose a different name if the new user's name is already in use at DreamHost.
- Navigate to the MySQL Databases page.
- To the right of your database, click the Add a user button.
- On the next page, select Create a new user now... from the dropdown menu.
- Enter a new username and password.
- Click the Add new user now! button when finished.
- This new user now has access to the database.
Deleting a database user
- Navigate to the MySQL Databases page.
- To the right of the database, under the User Access column, click the username.
- The next page displays the databases the user has access to.
- Click the Delete button to the right of the database to remove this user's access.
- The user will no longer have access to this database.
