Different MySQL users - one for managing database and one with limited permissions for usage in scripts
As many apps stores MySQL credentials in a plain text inside code. I suggest to provide us with 2 MySQL users
1) Admin user - with the most wide permissions
2) Script user - allowed only to manipulate with rows (CRUD)
This is common security practice on other hostings.

We also need this feature.
Actually we can't host several applications on Cloudways because it would be a security risk to only have one single admin user and also use this one on external services which only need READ access.

This feature really needs to be made available. Most of the hosting providers I have worked with provide this feature.

I am very surprised this is unavailable. This is a line in the sand for us to use Cloudways.

I've signed up to trial - all looks good apart from when I went to setup sql users. like everyone here i have a user for front end and user for admin with different privileges - was taken aback to find i can only have one sql user. Not good.

I'd really need to be able to create DB users and manage privileges to connect MySQL to external services without using the main user

I would need read-only user for example, so different privileges

Please the ability to add multiple users with different privileges per database

I would like to see this implemented as well for security reasons. The policy of "least permissions possible"
This way a user can access the without admin credentials.

This will be great if it could allow to accept connections from external servers as well. So the ability to create custom users tied to a database per application with the ability to assign connection from/user/pass.

We also need this feature that is necessary let different users access the database(s). It's also important for security reasons to have more than one unique/single "master/main" database user with all privilegies to connect to database from a server outside of localhost.
