Hi,<br />
My web developer needs to access a specific database, and he wants to be able to use phpmyadmin for that purpose. I created a user for him which has all the priviledges for that specific database. However I do not want him to know my root password. Is there any way he can access phpmyadmin and only work within its priviledges?<br />
<br />
Cheers!

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
