How To: Manage MySQL Database Users

From the SiteWorx interface, SiteWorx users can create and manage MySQL database users.

By default, all database users created in SiteWorx will be prefixed by the SiteWorx account unix username. While there it is not possible to create non-prefixed database users from within SiteWorx, users with shell access may do so from the CLI.
