Introduction

This Knowledge Base article provides a step-by-step guide on How to Create New Database User Account in cPanel. Creating separate database users allows you to control access to your databases, assign different permissions, and improve security by not sharing your main cPanel login. This also makes it easier to manage multiple projects or applications, as each user can be configured with only the privileges they need.

Prerequisite

• Access to your cPanel login page.

1. Click Password Generator to create a strong password automatically.
2. The Password Generator pop-up window will appear.
3. You can click Generate Password to refresh and create a new one.
