Updated on 4 November 20261 min read

Give a second user access to a database, e.g. for an external tool.

Here's how

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin: open your plan in your client area and click Open DirectAdmin. You're signed in right away.
  2. Go to Account Manager → MySQL Management and click the database.
  3. Under Users, click Create New User.
  4. Enter a name and password and click Create.

Give an extra user only the privileges they need.
