Users can start by adding a MySQL database. Simple go to the “Db:” section and type in the name of that database needed. Users also have the ability to added and remove users to databases in this section. Users can also add a host in this section; this is used for off site access.

In this above picture users can grant privileges to users and to databases. There are quit a few options to choose from, most just select all as it's the easiest. Remember that access to a database isn't need as long as the master username and password for the account is used. It's a good idea to create a username and password to access each database instead of using the master username and password.

At the bottom of the MySQL section, there is a link to phpMyAdmin. This is a useful database management tool and should be used to manage all databases. More information on phpMyAdmin can be found here: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/
