Creating a Database User

Hidden Accounts

DAS can hide your RDS for MySQL instance accounts in Table 1 to ensure that your database runs normally and to prevent your account details from being deleted by mistake.

Precautions

You can click Add DAS IP Address to add a DAS server IP address to the user host.
   	Password	Password of the user. The password: Can include 8 to 32 characters.

   	Subject	Subject of the X.509 certificates for connecting the user to the server.
   	Algorithm	Method of encrypting connections between the user and the server.
   Global Permissions	Permissions granted to the user to perform operations on all databases in the current instance. For details about the global permissions that can be configured, see Table 3. For details about permission usages and explanations, visit the official website.
   Object Permissions	Permissions granted to the user on specific objects. For details about the object permissions that can be configured, see Table 3. For details about permission usages and explanations, visit the official website. Example: The following settings grant the user the permission to query the ID of table user_test in database db_test. Figure 2 Adding an object permission On the Object Permissions tab, you can add or delete object permissions and click Save. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
   Role	Role of the user. Roles are only supported for MySQL 8.0. Role Name: You can select an existing username in this instance. Grant Role: Whether the new user can grant permissions of the selected role to another user. Default Role: Whether the new user can inherit permissions of the selected role. NOTE: To manage roles, the current account must have the ROLE_ADMIN permission. You can manually assign the permission. For example, you can run the GRANT ROLE_ADMIN on *.* TO 'root'@' %' command to assign the ROLE_ADMIN permission to user root. Example: The following settings indicate that user_2 can inherit permissions of user@ and can grant permissions of user@ to another user. Figure 3 Granting permissions
