<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> |
|
<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> |
