Creating a new user ¶

To create a new user, click the Add a new user link near the bottom of the Users 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.
