# How to Create a Database User

You can easily create a new MySQL database user by following these steps:

**1)** [Log into cPanel](https://chemicloud.com/kb/article/login-cpanel-whm-account/).

**2)** Look for the “**DATABASES**” section and click on **“MySQL® Databases”**.

**3)** Look for the **“Add New User”** section and enter the username and the password you want to be associated with the user in both fields. You can also click the **“Password Generator”** and cPanel generates a random, strong password for your username.

### Add the user to a database

**1)** On the same page look for the **“Add User To Database”** section and from the drop down menu select the username that you’ve just created and the database you want to assign the user to and click **“Add”**.

**2)** On the next page, you’ll assign privileges for the user to the database. If you want to assign full privileges for the user just check the box next to “**All Privileges”** and then click Next Step.

**3)** You’ll see a confirmation message that the username has been assigned to your database.
