MySQL Users in DirectAdmin Печать

DirectAdmin automatically creates one user per database. You cannot add additional users.

How It Works

• Create database → User created automatically
• Database name = Username
• User has full privileges on their database only
• One database = One user (always)

What You Can Do

Create Database + User:

1. DirectAdmin → MySQL Management
2. Click Create New Database
3. Enter name and password
4. Database and user created together

Change User Password:

1. Click on database name
2. Click Change Password

Need Multiple Users?

Not possible in DirectAdmin. Alternatives:

• Use application-level users (WordPress, etc.)
• Create separate databases
• Upgrade to VPS for full MySQL control

Connection Details

For each database:

Database: username_dbname
Username: username_dbname (same as database)
Password: [your password]
Host: localhost

Common Confusion

• No "Create User" button - Users created with databases
• Can't share databases - Each database isolated
• Can't limit privileges - Users have full access
