Question

multiple users using phpmyadmin -- possible?

general

Hi,

I have looked high and low for an answer on this… this is my last resort… any pointers would be appreciated…

I have a mysql db w/ permissions properly defined (permission to db, access… etc).

I want to set up a phpMyAdmin access to maintain the db for myself as well as some of my users. But I'd like to limit user access to spcific dbs I define.

I fiddled w/ config.ini.inc and managed to allow users to access only the dbs that I want them to. But what I can't figure out is, once they log in to phpMyAdmin, they essentially have access to the "Priviledges" option, which allows them to screw around w/ permissions… How do I take that option away from them?

Thank you…

Go to the Privileges section and disable all of their global privileges. Then give them database-specific privileges in the section below that. IIRC they should no longer see the privileges section.

I would suggest reading MySQL's manual on the matter as well. It sounds like you might want to read up on how MySQL's privilege system works.

untitled 9 is correct, really what phpmyadmin is all abou tis just a front end to mySQL. So really if they have those permissions in phpmyadmin, then they prolly have them if they made a manual connection to your datase (which isn't very secure.) Read up on how to limit people to specific operations and then they will be mirrored on the front end.
