Updated 2 weeks ago

Changing the permissions of the database user might be useful if you want to have custom preferences for some databases, for example, to make a database with read-only permissions.

To change your database’s permissions, go to Websites Manage, search for Databases Management on the sidebar and click on it:

In the section List of Current MySQL Databases And Users, click on button in front of the desired database and choose Change Permissions:
