I need to create a user in php myadmin.
Say user -> aaa and Password -> aaa123
Now I want this new user aa to access only one database out of the multiple database in the phppmyadmin.
Any suggestion is mst welcomed.
Create the user with only that database permission.
use the command:
grant all on db_name.* to 'username'#'localhost';
Thanks
You mean to say that a single database of your choice is displayed in phpmyadmin and not all the databases in the phpmyadmin , for several reasons.
Well , answer for this is Yes , you can do that.
You need to install phpmyadmin in your server settings account, click on server settings , and then "Add the list of severs to be allowed in that "list.

I am using MySQL workbench 6.2.3. I want limit user access to an individual database.When one trying to open a database after getting in a connection, he/she should enter user name and password. Is there any provision to grant access to a database after entering valid username and password?
There's no way to require an additional password for a user once he logged in. Control access via the normal MySQL login. The user name used for that can be configured to have only access to the objects you want. The used user name decides what is allowed and what is not.
For commercial MySQL editions you can also use the new MySQL Firewall, which allows only a set of previously learned queries to be run by a given user. It's not a second login, but you can fine tune access levels for a given user.
I am not sure if this is what you are trying to achieve but you can do the following to grant a user the access to a single database and all its tables.
You login as root with "mysql -u root"
Then execute : GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SpecificUserDB.* To 'TheUser'#'yourserver' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretpwd';
Hope this helps.
I was wondering if it was possible to have 1 database, but multiple logins (so that when a developer leaves, we don't have to change the entire db password and all instances of it).
If that's possible, how would I do it? (I have NO experience with phpmyadmin aside from code related queries, I'm doing research for a friend who would be able to implement it)
Thanks in advanced!
phpMyAdmin has a simple way of creating new SQL users. From the home screen, click on the database in the left column for which you want to add a new user. Click on the Privileges tab. At the bottom, there is a command labeled, "Add new user"; click that. Type in the username and password that you want to assign to the account. To restrict the user to that database, select "Grant all privileges on database."
Note: I'm using phpMyAdmin 3.4.7.1.
Yes that is possible. If you are using localhost, just login and create a new user and give the privileges for the database.
http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/user_management#Creating_a_new_user
If you are hosted server on Linux, there is an option to create new users and and assign to the databases with different privileges.
Yes, it's quite simple. PhpMyAdmin validates logins against MySQL's user permissions list. Simply create multiple MySQL users with full privileges on the DB in question and give each admin their own user.
It's easy to set this up from directly inside PhpMyAdmin. Just log in as a high-privilege user and click the "Privileges" tab. Then "Add New User" and specify the username, the host (generally localhost), a password and then create the user (with no privileges checked). Once the user is created, go back to the user list on the Privileges tab and click the edit button next to your new user. Then, under "Database-specific privileges", select the database you'd like to grant privileges... then just select all the rights you want to give this user and click "Go". This new MySQL user and password can now be issued to an admin so he/she can log into PhpMyAdmin, and it revoked at any time in the future.
I have a SQL Server server which has around 50 databases on it.
I wish to create a new Login for a client who wishes to have access to their database.
But I don't want to give them access to the other 49 databases.
How can I do this?
I think this is what we like to do very much.
--Step 1: (create a new user)
create LOGIN hello WITH PASSWORD='foo', CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
-- Step 2:(deny view to any database)
USE master;
GO
DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO hello;
-- step 3 (then authorized the user for that specific database , you have to use the master by doing use master as below)
USE master;
GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::yourDB TO hello;
GO
If you already created a user and assigned to that database before by doing
USE [yourDB]
CREATE USER hello FOR LOGIN hello WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
then kindly delete it by doing below and follow the steps
USE yourDB;
GO
DROP USER newlogin;
GO

Hiding databases for a login on Microsoft Sql Server 2008R2 and above
Connect to your SQL server instance using management studio
Goto Security -> Logins -> (RIGHT CLICK) New Login
fill in user details
Under User Mapping, select the databases you want the user to be able to access and configure
UPDATE:
You'll also want to goto Security -> Server Roles, and for public check the permissions for TSQL Default TCP/TSQL Default VIA/TSQL Local Machine/TSQL Named Pipesand remove the connect permission
For anyone else out there wondering how to do this, I have the following solution for SQL Server 2008 R2 and later:
USE master
go
DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [user]
go
This will address exactly the requirement outlined above..
this is to topup to what was selected as the correct answer. It has one missing step that when not done, the user will still be able to access the rest of the database.
First, do as #DineshDB suggested
1. Connect to your SQL server instance using management studio
2. Goto Security -> Logins -> (RIGHT CLICK) New Login
3. fill in user details
4. Under User Mapping, select the databases you want the user to be able to access and configure
the missing step is below:
5. Under user mapping, ensure that "sysadmin" is NOT CHECKED and select "db_owner" as the role for the new user.
And thats it.
Say you created a blog application, and it's data is stored in a MySQL database. In your application configuration you set the data source name to myBlog user root password whatever
Now, when users start using your blog to access, post to, and comment on threads, etc... I am assuming they connect as root through the application myblog ...
So... users connect to the application myBlog who in turn connects to MySQL as user root , using password whatever --- it's not really the users that are connecting to MySQL, it's the application. Correct?
Is there not a security issue with this approach? Should I create a new username in MySQL for the application myBlog with specific privileges and leave root only for administering the database?
yes, the application connects to the db. you should create a new mysql user for your application, do something like
CREATE DATABASE myblog_env;
CREATE USER 'myblogenv-user'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your pw';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON myblog_env.* TO 'myblogenv-user'#'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
something like the above should do it. The 'env' part of the above is for if you want to create a new db for difference environments, like dev, stage, prod, whatever....
this way your application user has complete access to its db, but no other dbs in the mysql instance.
First of all, you should NEVER use the root account of a mysql database for anything else then admin work.
Second of all, in theory yes the user of your blog would be the "root" in your mysql database, but hopefully there is a lot of sanatizing and cleaning up in your blogs code before any queries are executed...anything else would be know as an "sql inject"
You are exactly right. This is called the principle of least privilege. You should give the application the minimum access rights that it needs to complete the job. This would not be root.
The short answer is: Yes.
Long answer:
Security: You should have a different user for your application than you do for yourself as the administator. That application user should only have read (and write if necessary) privileges on the specific database it needs to access. Also, it should not have privilege-granting privileges, nor drop table privileges, nor database creation/dropping privileges, nor anything else that is reserved for you.
Convenience: If you ever need to change your password, you don't want to have to change your application, and vice versa.
How can we prevent the the query "show databases;" or "show tables;" in mysql for any non root user.Is this possible.If so please provide an example or appropriate link...indicating this..
Thanks in advance........
Non-root user sees all databases only if he has global rights (like GRANT something ON *.*). So the solution is to always grant everything ON databasename.* , never global.
I would give show_db_priv a try:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant-table-structure.html
But, there have been reports of this not working. See this bug entry:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1048
Can't get you a link right now, but this is a permissions issue at heart and control over access to the root user.
On something like phpmyadmin or some other tool, you want to revoke permissions on these two databases (and any others) to all users except for your root admin. If you're on a shared server where you typically get one user for your one database you'll need to talk to your host.
My general rule (if I've got permissions control over the db server) is to create a new user for a specific database or (subset of tables) and always use that user only from the web or other application that talks to the db. It's more setup initially, but once you've got it setup you've got much more control and know that one application can't interfere with another.
Root access is simply not allowed for application use - its for maintenance only.
