<h1>User management<a class="headerlink" href="#user-management" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>User management is the process of controlling which users are allowed to
|
||
connect to the MySQL server and what permissions they have on each database.
|
||
phpMyAdmin does not handle user management, rather it passes the username and
|
||
password on to MySQL, which then determines whether a user is permitted to
|
||
perform a particular action. 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">User accounts</span> tab
|
||
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 user account</span> link near the bottom
|
||
of the <span class="guilabel">User accounts</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">User accounts</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">User accounts</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">User accounts</span> link on the home page).
|
||
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 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_users"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['users']</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 notranslate"><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="admonition-title">Warning</p>
|
||
<p>This feature only limits what a user sees, they are 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>
