Managing Users

Creating a Database User

  1. When logged in to the Control Panel, click Containers in the left menu.
  2. Then click Databases below that to bring you to the databases sub module.
  3. Click the name of the database you would like to add a user to.
  4. Click the Add Database User button in the top right.
  5. Fill in the username and password of a new database user.
  6. Click Add User.

Giving access to multiple databases to one user can be a security risk if one of your applications become compromised. We would recommend only giving access to one database because of this.

Update a Database Users Password or Permissions

  1. When logged in to the Control Panel, click Containers in the left menu.
  2. Then click Databases below that to bring you to the databases sub module.
  3. Click the name of the database your user belongs to.
  4. Select the user you would like to edit by clicking their name.
  5. Type in their new password or add/remove database permissions.
  6. Once finished click Save Changes to apply the changes.

Remove a User from a Database

  1. When logged in to the Control Panel, click Containers in the left menu.
  2. Then click Databases below that to bring you to the databases sub module.
  3. On the row that contains the user you wish to remove, click the More Actions icon (•••) button.
  4. Select Delete from the dropdown menu.
  5. Confirm you want to delete the user by clicking Remove User in the confirmation modal.

If the user has access to other databases on the server you will need to remove it from them before the user is removed from the server.
