What are database users, and how do I create them in cPanel?

By Spiderz • November 21, 2023

Database users are accounts that have access to interact with your databases. To create one:

  1. Go to the ‘Databases’ section in cPanel and select ‘MySQL Databases.’
  2. Scroll to ‘MySQL Users’ and fill in the new user’s details.
  3. Click ‘Create User’ to finalize the process.

Good to Know: Creating separate users for different databases can enhance security by limiting access to only necessary data.
