I have given my web designer FTP access, but he has advised me that he also needs to be able to have a MySQL login (or some other method of creating a database and permissions). Print

Create a MySQL User for the Web Designer

Steps (in your 4GoodHosting cPanel):

  1. Login to cPanel

  2. Go to MySQL Databases

  3. Under "Create New Database", create a new database (e.g., designer_db)

  4. Under "Add New User", create a MySQL user for the designer

    • Example: designer_user + strong password

  5. Add User to Database

    • Choose the database and the user you just created

    • Click Add

  6. Set Privileges

    • Give them All Privileges or limit to SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE based on needs
