Databases and database users

Create a database, add users with access to exactly the databases they need, reset a password.

Databases belong to an application. Each database user gets access to exactly the databases you choose, nothing else.

Databases tab: host and port, the databases with their size, and the users with their access.

ActionNotes
Create a databaseUTF8MB4, the right character set for every modern store. Optionally with a user that has full access to it.
Create a userChoose its databases and its access level.
Reset passwordA new password is generated (or set your own) and shown once.
Delete a databaseDrops it. Users keep existing but lose access to it.
Allow remoteLets this user connect from outside the server, once MariaDB is open to the outside (see Remote MySQL).

Applications connect to localhost, port 3306. The connection details of a store are in its configuration file (app/etc/env.php, wp-config.php or .env).

Deleting a database cannot be undone except from a backup. Download it first if you are not sure.
