To update an existing database user’s privileges in cPanel:

  1. Go to the ‘Databases’ section in cPanel and select ‘MySQL Databases.’
  2. Under ‘Current Databases’, find the database associated with the user.
  3. Click on the user’s name under the ‘Privileged Users’ column.
  4. Modify the privileges as needed and click ‘Make Changes’ to apply the updates.

Good to Know: Setting user privileges requires caution; incorrect permissions might compromise your site’s functionality or security.
