A single database can have multiple users with different levels of access. Properly managing these users is a crucial part of server security.
Creating a New User
- Go to Databases.
- Click on User Management (in the top navigation bar).
- Click Add Database User.
- Enter the new Username and generate a strong password.
- Under "Database", choose whether this user should have access to one specific database, or ALL databases on the subscription.
- Click OK.
Modifying User Credentials
If your WordPress site suddenly starts displaying "Error establishing a database connection", the database password might have changed or expired.
- In User Management, click on the existing username.
- Enter a new password in the password fields.
- Click OK.
- Critical Next Step: You must immediately update your web application's configuration file (e.g., `wp-config.php` for WordPress or `.env` for Laravel) with this exact new password, otherwise your site will remain broken!
