Once a MySQL user is created, they will need to be given permission to access any databases that they wish to access. To accomplish this, you must grant the user's permissions to a database.
Here are the steps:
- To access the MySQL Account Maintenance Menu, click on the words MySQL Databases on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
- Select the user (the user will appear as mainuser_user) you wish to grant permissions for from the drop box next to User:
- Select the database (the database will appear as mainuser_database) you wish to give that user access to from the drop box next to Db:
- Select any privileges (abilities to modify the database) you wish the user to have by checking the box next to the privilege's name.
- Click on Add User to Db to give the user permission to access the database.
Troubleshooting: The user will only have permission to change things you have given them the privileges for. Make sure the user has privileges for everything they need to modify.
