Add a MySQL user

After you create a database, add users to the database and configure their privileges.

Notes:

• You must create MySQL user accounts separately from mail and web administrator accounts.

• You must create a user before you can add the user to an existing database.

To create a new user account, perform the following steps:

1. Enter a username in the Username text box. 

Important:

To learn more about database username limits, click your database type:

 MySQL

 MariaDB

2. Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

Notes:

• The system evaluates the password that you enter on a scale of 100 points. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password.

• Some web hosts require a minimum password strength. A green password Strength meter indicates that the password is equal to or greater than the required password strength.

• Click Password Generator to generate a strong password. For more information, read our Password & Security documentation.

3. Click Create User.

4. Click Go Back to return to the main interface.
