Within phpMyAdmin, administrators have full control over creating users, viewing and editing privileges for existing users, and removing users.</p> <p>Within phpMyAdmin, user management is controlled via the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> link from the main page. Users can be created, edited, and removed.</p> <div class="section" id="creating-a-new-user"> <h2>Creating a new user<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-new-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>To create a new user, click the <span class="guilabel">Add a new user</span> link near the bottom of the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> 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.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="editing-an-existing-user"> <h2>Editing an existing user<a class="headerlink" href="#editing-an-existing-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>To edit an existing user, simply click the pencil icon to the right of that user in the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> page. You can then edit their global- and database-specific privileges, change their password, or even copy those privileges to a new user.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="deleting-a-user"> <h2>Deleting a user<a class="headerlink" href="#deleting-a-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>From the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> 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.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="assigning-privileges-to-user-for-a-specific-database"> <h2>Assigning privileges to user for a specific database<a class="headerlink" href="#assigning-privileges-to-user-for-a-specific-database" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>Users are assigned to databases by editing the user record (from the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> link on the home page) not from within the <span class="guilabel">Users</span> 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.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="configurable-menus-and-user-groups"> <span id="configurablemenus"></span><h2>Configurable menus and user groups<a class="headerlink" href="#configurable-menus-and-user-groups" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>By enabling <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_usergroups"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups']</span></code></a> and <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_usergroups"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups']</span></code></a> you can customize what users will see in the phpMyAdmin navigation.</p> <div class="admonition warning"> <p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p> <p class="last">This feature only limits what a user sees, he is still able to use all the functions. So this can not be considered as a security limitation. Should you want to limit what users can do, use MySQL privileges to achieve that.</p> </div> <p>With this feature enabled, the <span class="guilabel">User accounts</span> management interface gains a second tab for managing <span class="guilabel">User groups</span>, where you can define what each group will view (see image below) and you can then assign each user to one of these groups. Users will be presented with a simplified user interface, which might be useful for inexperienced users who could be overwhelmed by all the features phpMyAdmin provides.</p> <img alt="_images/usergroups.png" src="_images/usergroups.png" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sphinxsidebar" role="navigation" aria-label="main navigation"> <div class="sphinxsidebarwrapper"> <h3><a href="index.html">Table Of Contents</a></h3> <ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#">User management</a><ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#creating-a-new-user">Creating a new user</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#editing-an-existing-user">Editing an existing user</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#deleting-a-user">Deleting a user</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#assigning-privileges-to-user-for-a-specific-database">Assigning privileges to user for a specific database</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#configurable-menus-and-user-groups">Configurable menus and user groups</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h4>Previous topic</h4> <p class="topless"><a href="bookmarks.html" title="previous chapter">Bookmarks</a></p> <h4>Next topic</h4> <p class="topless"><a href="relations.html" title="next chapter">Relations</a></p> <div role="note" aria-label="source link"> <h3>This Page</h3> <ul class="this-page-menu"> <li><a href="_sources/privileges.txt" rel="nofollow">Show Source</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="searchbox" style="display: none" role="search"> <h3>Quick search</h3> <form class="search" action="search.html" method="get"> <div><input type="text" name="q" /></div> <div><input type="submit" value="Go" /></div> <input type="hidden" name="check_keywords" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="area" value="default" /> </form> </div> <script type="text/javascript">$('#searchbox').show(0);</script> </div> </div> <div class="clearer"></div> </div> <div class="related" role="navigation" aria-label="related navigation"> <h3>Navigation</h3> <ul> <li class="right" style="margin-right: 10px"> <a href="genindex.html" title="General Index" >index</a></li> <li class="right" > <a href="relations.html" title="Relations" >next</a> |</li> <li class="right" > <a href="bookmarks.html" title="Bookmarks" >previous</a> |</li> <li class="nav-item nav-item-0"><a href="index.html">phpMyAdmin 4.7.4 documentation</a> »</li> <li class="nav-item nav-item-1"><a href="user.html" >User Guide</a> »</li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer" role="contentinfo"> © <a href="copyright.html">Copyright</a> 2012 - 2017, The phpMyAdmin devel team.
