How to allow access to only one phpMyAdmin DB?

    I'm trying to give a developer access to a single database on my account. Problem is, there's a dozen other databases I don't want him to have access to, and if I give him cPanel access to phpMyAdmin (even if I restrict the login to phpMyAdmin), he'll have access to all the databases.

    Is there a way to grant access to only one database - similarly to how there's a way to grant FTP access to a specific directory?

    Hi tweeter,

    Excellent question. Giving a developer access to only one database on an account is actually a common scenario. There are a couple approaches you can take:

    1) The first is to install a separate copy of phpMyAdmin that is linked to a single database.
    2) An easier approach is to simply grant remote mySQL access (you should see an icon for "Remote mySQL" in your cPanel). Enter your developer's hostname (ie. example.com) and give them the login details to the database you wish them to have access to.
