I want to give permission to a user to access my database using work bench "users and privilege" option. Now i was create a account, I want to give read only permission to this account user. But i confused to give privilege to this user.Please help me...
Read only using the MySQL Client right? Select a user under "users and privilege" and click the tab "schema privileges". Click "add entry", pick a host and schema. Then al you have to do is check the "select" privilege. This user has read only rights now.

I have a database that somebody else has built and I need to attach it on my SQL Server. The main user that owns schemas is named 'LSadmin'.
I want to use that same name for login to the server, and then have the rights for that login to access the database.
For some reason a login already exist LSadmin but it does not have any rights to access the attached database. When I want to Map the login to the database and give it datawritter and datareader for example, SQL Server shows that a user already exists.
When I try to delete the user to recreate it, then I can't because it owns schemas.
I found two ways to resolve this. One is to give the login a sysadmin rights, which of course is not desirable, and the other one is to move schemas ownership to another user, and then give database rights through mapping.
Is there any other solution that is not so "complicated"?
Why would a user with permission to only select be able to edit a record in phpMyAdmin? How can I prevent the edit?
This is the permissions screen:
If the user is able to edit and save the row in phpMyAdmin, it's because the rights at the MySQL level permit this action. Ultimately it's MySQL that controls what is possible, not phpMyAdmin. Note that it's a combination of username + hostname that applies, so maybe there is the same username with a different hostname that is defined. Also, there can be rights at the global, database, table and column levels.
I need to work with a site where they don't remember the super admin password and user name. I can access to the database but with a no full access account.
If I have access to all the files in php my admin, can I get the password and the user name of the super admin?
This depends on how much access to the MySQL services on the server you can get. Try looking up "How to Reset MySQL Root password."
On top of what Tony Arnold said, you should be able to find the super admin pass within the MySQL database (of course depending on the database as stated above) this might help you:

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.
