Users

Configuration Information

This is also where you will find the required information to configure CMS or web applications:

• the name of a database (e.g., XXXX_dbname)
• the database username (e.g., XXXX_username)
• the password for the database username (the one you chose when creating the MySQL/MariaDB user to reset if you forgot it)
• the MySQL/MariaDB server of the databases / hostname (e.g., XXXX.myd.infomaniak.com) with its version (5.7, for example)

User Rights

• with read rights: the user can only see the structure and content of a table and therefore perform SELECT queries
• with write rights: the user can modify the structure and content of the database
• with administrative rights: the user can delete the database
• with no rights: the user will not see the database appear in phpMyAdmin

Web Application Databases

• WordPress
• Joomla
